Cholpon-Ata Airport (
Cholpon-Ata Airport started its operations in the 1930s as a landing strip on the northern shore of
Issyk-Kul Lake
. The current runway and terminal were built in the 1970s. The runway has a weight limit of 22 tonnes, and has no instrument landing facilities and operates only during daylight hours.
Cholpon-Ata Airport is currently being replaced by
Tamchy Airport.[3]
There are plans to reconstruct it as a VIP airport due to its proximity to the governmental resorts. Until 2003, Cholpon-Ata had regular links with Bishkek, Osh and Jalal-Abad.
