About The Airport
TAV Airports took over operations in Almaty, the economic capital and the busiest airport of Kazakhstan in April 2021. TAV is now 85% beneficial owner of Almaty Airport and associated fuel and catering businesses, and Kazakhstan Infrastructure Fund, managed by VPE Capital and backed by Kazyna Capital Management, holds the remaining 15% stake. Almaty is the first airport in TAV’s portfolio where the company owns the airport instead of a time limited concession. Kazakhstan’s main aviation gateway and the flag carrier Air Astana’s base, Almaty Airport is an important junction on the modern “Silk Road”.
TAV Airports invested around USD 200M to increase the airport’s capacity to 14 million passengers. TAV Airports officially opened its “new” international terminal in June 2024.
ALA was awarded with “Best in the World Airport “Award in 2024 and 2022, organized by Skytrax.
