Razzaqov Airport
Isfana Iskhak Razzakov Airport started its operations in the 1940s as a landing strip near the town of Isfana. After Kalacha Airport, serving the coal mining town of Sulukta (16 km north of Isfana), was closed, Isfana Iskhak Razzakov Airport started serving Sulukta residents as well. The current runway and terminal were built in 1974. It is a regional class 3C airport. The runway has a weight limit of 22 tonnes, and has no instrument landing facilities and operates only during daylight hours.
In the early 1990s, Isfana Iskhak Razzakov Airport halted its operation because of technical problems. It remained closed for twenty years. In 2007, after the terminal and the track were repaired, the airport was reopened. It was temporarily closed in early 2014, but was reopened later that year. The airport was closed once again from November 2019 to June 2020 while the terminal and runway were renovated.
