QIA is located 10 km east and slightly north of the
city center of Kurgantyube (Qurghonteppa in
Tajik language) the
administrative center of Kurgantyube province
with a population of about 2
million.
In terms of passenger
volumes the airport ranks fourth among Tajikistan’s four
international airports.
There
were about 120,000 arrivals and departures in
2013.
A single local company
based in Qurghonteppa since
2007, East Airlines, operates 9 or 10 weekly flights to four cities
in Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg and Novosibirsk as
well as to Shymkent, Kazakhstan and to
Bishkek. The company has two older Boeing 737s
and two Airbus 320s.
A
semi-autonomous company took over operations of the airport in
March
2013, at the
time resurfacing and a small extension of the airport runway to
2250 meters was completed.
The
company has the ability to set its own prices for airport landing
and other services and offers rates significantly lower than those
of Dushanbe
International.
The
airport has a goal to add two or three more airlines to increase
its weekly flight total to 20 by the end of
2014.
Air navigation charges
are standard for all airports in the country as shown in the table
under 2.0 Aviation.
There is a
single company in Tajikistan that provides jet fuel to all airports
under a fixed price
system.
There is space
available within the building or least to private companies and
organizations.
Customs and
immigration offices are located within the airport terminal
building.
UNHAS has
used Qurghonteppa sporadically
including regular flights in 2003-004 from Kabul to Kunduz and then
to Qurghonteppa with further
transfer of passengers by bus to
Dushanbe.

Fuel Services Charges
There is a single company in Tajikistan supplying aviation fuel to the four international airports. Prices are higher than in nearby countries like Kazakhstan. As of February 2014, it was anticipated that prices for Jet A-1 could drop by $200 per ton if the company passed on to airlines the savings made through Russia’s lifting of export duties on fuel in 2013.
