Pavlodar Airport has returned to normal operations after completing the reconstruction of its runway. The first flight after the repairs was on the Astana–Pavlodar–Astana route, reports infohub.kz.
During the reconstruction, the runway was not only upgraded but also widened from 45 to 60 meters. This will allow the airport to accommodate modern aircraft and enhance flight safety.
Currently, subsidized flights on the Astana–Pavlodar–Astana route have been launched. They will be operated four times a week by Vietjet Qazaqstan. "The one-way ticket price will be 15,000 tenge," the authorities said. Ticket sales for this route began in the first half of August.
Starting September 1, commercial flights are also planned to resume. FlyArystan will operate daily flights on the Pavlodar–Almaty–Pavlodar route. On the same day, S7 Airlines plans to launch international flights from Pavlodar to Novosibirsk. Flights will be operated seven times a week.
Recall that Pavlodar Airport was closed for reconstruction on April 1, 2025. Since then, all flights were canceled.
Earlier, Kursiv reported that Arkalyk Airport has completed construction and all necessary certification procedures. The first flight is expected to be received on August 22.
