Terminal navigation guide

Terminal-change and gate-area notes pulled from the markdown guide.

From Terminals & Navigation

One public passenger building. Since 14 May 2026 check-in, the sterile zone and arrivals sit in the new west wing. The main doors came back 12 July 2026. Interior work continues in the older part — follow today’s signs, not a 2024 photo.
Business Lounge: airside, right-hand side, 1st floor / mezzanine, international departures only (Priority Pass). LoungePair leftover “near Gates 3–6” is leftover-plausible; walk right after passport control and look up.
Arrivals dump you into the public hall: Duty-Free is airside, not at the curb. Taxi touts start at the door; Yandex pickup is outside — Reddit leftover reports of drivers asking you to cancel the app ride are leftover-plausible, so wait for the car that matches the plate.
There is no metro, no airport rail, and no leftover T2 for scheduled passengers. VIP Hall is a paid product in a separate lounge, not a second pier.
Gates are bus and bridge mixed. Do not treat leftover “all jetbridges” as a promise.
Reconstruction wayfinding will keep moving. If a door is taped, the west wing is still the live public path this pass.

Ground transport guide

City-transfer, rideshare, train, and parking guidance from the markdown guide.

From Ground Transport & Parking

AIP/Wikipedia distance is 25 km north-northwest of Bishkek. The site’s city-center pin is about 22 km from the stored airport coordinates. Leftover “15 km” is leftover-low.
Yandex Go is the live rideshare. Uber is not Kyrgyzstan. Bolt is not Kyrgyzstan. inDrive is the bid fallback. An official Yandex-on-the-ramp agreement was announced as planned on 19 Aug 2026 — do not treat it as already exclusive.
