AKX Airport (Aktobe Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

Aliya Moldagulova International, better known by its code AKX (ICAO UATT), sits barely 1.5 km south-west of central Aktobe and is the busiest airport in western Kazakhstan by passenger volume. More than 900,000 travellers were handled in 2023, and terminal and apron works have since lifted nominal capacity past 1.2 million a year. The airport operates a cargo facility for inbound and outbound consignments and mail, but no based freighter operator or scheduled all-cargo service is confirmed; goods move mainly as belly cargo on scheduled flights to Astana, Almaty and destinations in Russia and Turkey. Typical shipments are spare parts and equipment for the region's oil, gas and chromium industries, plus time-critical consumer goods. Onward distribution is road-based: Aktobe lies on the trunk route towards Uralsk and Aqtau, the Russian border near Orenburg is a few hundred kilometres away, and trucking effectively substitutes for the lack of a rail freight link at the airport itself. Oversized or dangerous-goods consignments are usually routed through Almaty (ALA) or Astana (NQZ) and trucked in.
