Bokhtar International Airport (
romanized: Furudgohi Baynalmilalii Bohtar, Russian: Международный аэропорт «Бохтар»; ) is an international airport (IATA: KQT, ICAO: UTDT) five kilometers northeast of the city of Bokhtar (until 2018 was called Qurghonteppa), near the village of Levakant. Also known as Kurgan-Tyube, but after renaming the city of Kurgan-Tyube to Bokhtar, it changed its name in the same way. It is one of the four international airports in Tajikistan
.
History
The airport was built and opened in years of
Airbus A320 and Boeing 737
.
Since the beginning of the 2000s and until recently, in different years, the airport has had regular flights with a number of Russian cities, such as
St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Saratov, Orenburg, and also once with the Kazakhstani city of Almaty. Today, it still has an irregular flight connection with only two airports in Tajikistan: the Dushanbe International Airport and the Khujand Airport
.
The current decline of the airport is due to the
Khatlon province
.
