According to the operator, the main structures, roof, screeds and external networks of the new terminal at Osh airport are complete. The terminal covers 25,443 sq m. Work continues on partitions, glazing and engineering systems.
According to media reports, completion of the work is expected in January–February 2027. Completion of construction is not yet the commissioning of the terminal.
The terminal timeline has slipped. In December 2025 the target was summer 2026, and in mid-October Airports of Kyrgyzstan, after inspecting the site, named the end of 2026. We covered this here: https://www.flycentralasia.com/news/en/kyrgyzstan-osh-terminal-jalal-abad-airport-deadlines/
The terminal is designed for more than 5 million passengers a year. Construction began in February 2025. The project also includes an automated car park for 650 vehicles, an expanded apron and a modernised runway.
Osh is part of a wider renewal of Kyrgyzstan's airport network. A new international airport is being built in Jalal-Abad region, where earthworks for the runway are 90% complete: https://www.flycentralasia.com/news/en/kyrgyzstan-south-airport-opening-autumn-2027-cost/
A cargo airport is also under discussion in Manas city, next to the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway route: https://www.flycentralasia.com/news/en/kyrgyzstan-cargo-airport-manas-city-multimodal-logistics-hub-bostonov-boeing-747/
Airports of Kyrgyzstan is developing the airline side at the same time: the parent company of the national carrier Asman Airlines expects two A321 aircraft in May 2027: https://www.flycentralasia.com/news/en/kyrgyz-state-carrier-large-jets-plan-spare-parts-delay/
Our assessment: at the Osh terminal the work has moved from structures to fit-out and engineering systems, and at this stage equipment suppliers play a bigger role. The date has slipped several times, so the benchmark remains the end of construction, not the opening of the terminal. For companies equipping the terminal, ground handlers and airlines planning flights to Osh, the commissioning schedule will matter. This is the view of flycentralasia.
