Alert Issued to Kazakhstan Citizens at Almaty Airport

The Horizon project, launched in early August, aims to transform Almaty Airport into an aviation hub of world-class status. The project, which involves a significant investment plan of approximately 300 million euros over the next five years, includes various infrastructure improvements.

However, there is no specific publicly available information regarding a temporary closure of the entrance to the Almaty Airport ramp, its repair timeline, or progress. The airport has apologized for any temporary inconvenience caused by the repair work.

The entrance to the ramp near the 'Akzhankar' hotel at Almaty Airport has been under repair for almost a year, as mentioned by Sara. The repair work includes improving waterproofing, modernizing the heating system, and laying new asphalt. During the repair, access to the ramp is via a new ramp.

The first phase of the Horizon project, which covers 130 objects at a cost of $362 million, includes the reconstruction of the domestic flights terminal, construction of a new taxiway, modernization of the VIP apron, construction of a hotel, multi-level parking, and development of fuel infrastructure. Funding for this project comes from the airport's own funds, bank loans, and private investments, without state guarantees and budget subsidies.

For the most current operational updates about Almaty Airport's ramp access or construction-related closures, checking the official Almaty Airport website or direct communication from the airport authority would be recommended. A traffic scheme for the repair is available from the press service of Almaty Airport.

Recently, there have been conflicting reports about the status of the ramp entrance. Vyacheslav Empro reported that the entrance was open during his visit yesterday, while Nargiz T stated that the condition has been the same for two years. The airport has not issued any official statements to clarify these discrepancies.

Despite the ongoing repair work, the Horizon project continues to move forward, with the aim of making Almaty Airport a major aviation hub in the region. For updates on the project's progress and any changes in the airport's operations, passengers and local media are encouraged to regularly check the official Almaty Airport website or contact the airport authority.
