Osh Airport (OSS)

Osh International Airport (OSS) is the second-largest aviation hub in Kyrgyzstan, serving as the primary air gateway to the southern region and the fertile Fergana Valley. The airport currently operates from a central passenger terminal building located approximately 5.5 miles (9 km) north of the city center. A significant infrastructure transformation is currently underway, with a major expansion project launched in early 2025 to construct a new two-story terminal designed to eventually accommodate up to 5 million passengers per year. The existing terminal infrastructure provides essential services for travelers, including the 'Sputnik' canteen on the basement level which serves a variety of local Kyrgyz and oriental cuisine. Passengers have access to free Wi-Fi, multiple ATMs, and currency exchange offices within the main building, alongside a dedicated 24-hour prayer room and a nursery for families. For those seeking enhanced comfort, a high-comfort VIP lounge is situated in a separate building, offering personalized assistance, private aircraft transfers, and refreshments for a premium fee. Ground transportation to central Osh is well-supported by local minibus (marshrutka) lines 107 and 142, which provide frequent links during daytime hours. Official taxis are available 24/7 outside the terminal entrance, and travelers are increasingly encouraged to utilize regional taxi apps like Yandex Go for reliable and transparent pricing. The airport acts as a vital regional link for both domestic flights to Bishkek and international connections to major hubs in Russia, Turkey, and the Middle East.
