History

On June 10, 2021, the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development[7][8][9] allocated a $75 million loan for the construction of the airport in Jebel, Balkan Region.[10] The loan, provided to State Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs of Turkmenistan, has a 15-year term, including a 3-year grace period, with an interest rate of 4% per annum.[11]
On July 14, 2021, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the future airport, which is designed to handle 100 passengers per hour.[12][13]

As of February 2024, the construction of a transformer substation, a specialized water reservoir, and fire station facilities was nearing completion. A 35-meter tower for air traffic control staff and additional technical facilities were also under construction.[15]
