🛫 Attention travelers! 🛬🚧 Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport 🚧 has announced some changes to its flight schedule due to planned runway maintenance. Here's what you need to know:
From September 1 to October 31, 2025, there will be a temporary closure of the runway between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time, except between September 5 to 7 inclusive, when flights will operate as usual. This closure is part of a larger effort to enhance airport safety and service quality.
The upcoming closure may result in altered flight schedules, so it's essential to double-check your travel plans with your airline before departing. To minimize disruptions, the airport suggests staying up-to-date with any new information on its website or through your carrier.
🌟 Now, here's where it gets interesting. 🌟 When runways close at major airports, airlines typically follow one of three strategies:
- Alternate airports: In the case of Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport, nearby options may include Almaty International Airport or other regional airports within Kazakhstan.
- Modified flight schedules: Operating flights during nighttime or outside of the closure hours.
- Routing via connecting hubs: To avoid congestion during the closure, some flights could be rerouted through connecting airports.
While official alternate flight plans have not been disclosed at this time, it's recommended that travelers and airlines stay tuned for updated information from their carriers as the closure date approaches. As always, safety and convenience are the top priorities for all involved. Safe travels! 🛫🚀ł**
