Namangan International Airport

Namangan, Uzbekistan · Asia-Pacific

A small single-terminal airport about 12 km west of Namangan that handled 867,367 passengers in 2025, about 95% of them on international flights, mostly to Russia. Getting through is simple, but facilities are basic: a paid CIP hall with unpublished prices, a few cafés and no public transport to the terminal. A much larger new terminal is due by the end of 2026.

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Check-in opens 3 hours before departure

Check-in opens 3 hours before departure; allow time for entrance screening, passport control and customs.

Uzbekistan Airways opens airport check-in 3 hours before departure. It closes 40 minutes before international flights (1 hour at many airports) and 30 minutes before domestic flights. Boarding ends 20 minutes before departure. Everyone is screened at the terminal entrance before check-in, and international passengers then go through passport and customs control, so don't cut it fine.

Terminal

One small terminal until the new one opens

A single compact terminal; a larger new terminal is due by the end of 2026.

All domestic and international flights use the current single terminal. A much larger three-storey terminal was still being built in September 2026 and is officially due to open by the end of 2026. Check with your airline which building you're using if you fly around the switchover.

Food

Eat before you come

Only a few small cafés; opening hours unconfirmed.

The current terminal only has a few small cafés and kiosks, and we could not confirm their opening hours. The new terminal is planned with more restaurants and duty-free shopping, but it isn't open yet. Have a proper meal in the city before an early or late flight.

Status

No lounge programme, only a paid CIP hall

Paid CIP service with unpublished price; no card-based lounge access.

Uzbekistan Airports lists Namangan among its airports with a CIP hall (a paid fast-track and lounge service), but it doesn't publish a Namangan price. We found no Priority Pass, LoungeKey or DragonPass lounge. None of the airlines here belongs to an alliance, so alliance status gives you nothing. Ask the airport help desk (+998 69 228 68 90) before you count on the CIP service.

Live conditions

Screening at the terminal entrance plus passport and customs control for international flights
Terminal switchover expected around the end of 2026

Guide quick facts

From the editorial guide for NMA.

Updated Oct 22, 2026

Namangan International Airport (IATA NMA, ICAO UZFN) serves Namangan and the northern Fergana Valley in eastern Uzbekistan. It lies about 12 km west of the city centre and is run by the state operator Uzbekistan Airports.
Traffic: 867,367 passengers in 2025, up from 759,819 in 2024, which makes it Uzbekistan's third-busiest airport. About 95% of them (819,970) flew internationally.
Most flights go to Russia: Uzbekistan Airways, Ural Airlines, Qanot Sharq, Nordwind and Red Wings fly to Moscow and other Russian cities, many of them seasonally. Uzbekistan Airways also flies to Tashkent and, since April 2026, weekly to Delhi; there are flights to Jeddah as well. None of the airlines here belongs to an alliance.
All flights use one small passenger terminal. A new three-storey terminal (22,600 m², about 1,200 passengers an hour and 3 million a year), built as a public–private partnership, was still under construction in September 2026; the government expects it to open by the end of 2026.
The airport has one runway (10/28) of about 3.3 km. Local time is Uzbekistan time (UTC+5) all year, with no daylight-saving change.

Terminal navigation guide

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

From Terminals & Navigation

One passenger terminal handles all flights. Departures and arrivals are separate parts of the same building, so there are no transfers between terminals.
Departures: entrance screening, then check-in, then passport and customs control for international flights, then security and the waiting hall.
Arrivals: passport control, baggage claim and customs, then the exit to the forecourt.
New terminal: a three-storey building of 22,600 m², designed for about 1,200 passengers an hour and 3 million a year, with border and customs control points, a business lounge, shops, restaurants, a medical point and duty free. The government expects it to open by the end of 2026; until it does, everything uses the old terminal.
Health: Uzbek airports have health posts that give passengers free first aid.

Ground transport guide

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

From Ground Transport & Parking

Location: about 12 km west of central Namangan.
Taxi and Yandex Go: the practical way into town. Use Yandex Go (it operates in Namangan) to see the price upfront, or agree a fare with a taxi driver before you get in. Expect about 15–25 minutes to the centre (estimate).
Public transport: no bus or minibus route to the terminal door could be confirmed.
Parking: the official parking page gives no details, and other sources contradict each other, so ask the airport before you leave a car for several days.
Train: the airport has no railway station.

Ride to Namangan

Pickup at NMA. Where the app supports it, dropoff is set to Namangan city center for a live price.

From Best Airport Tricks & Hacks

Check in online with Uzbekistan Airways to save time: online check-in opens 23 hours 55 minutes before departure. Airport check-in opens 3 hours before departure and closes 40 minutes before international flights (1 hour at many airports) or 30 minutes before domestic ones.
Yandex Go works in Namangan. Ordering a car in the app gives you the price before you set off, which is easier than haggling with drivers outside the terminal.
Flying from elsewhere in the Fergana Valley? Fergana (FEG) and Andijan (AZN) airports are also in the Fergana Valley and have different flights, so compare all three.
Bring snacks for early-morning or late-night departures; we could not confirm café hours in the current terminal.
Need help with reduced mobility? Tell your airline when you book. Uzbek airports have wheelchairs, ramps, accessible toilets and an ambulift, and staff escort passengers through the airport.

01

SecurityTraveler Tips & Hacks

Screening starts at the front door

Everyone is screened at the terminal entrance and again before boarding.

Put your coat, shoes, belt and hat in the trays, and your electronics in a separate container. International passengers also go through passport control and green/red customs channels. Cash above the equivalent of 100 million soums must be declared when you leave.

Pro

Small terminal, short walks

Watch-out

Queues can form at the entrance before departure peaks

02

TransportTraveler Tips & Hacks

Use Yandex Go for the ride into town

No bus to the terminal could be confirmed; the 12 km ride to the centre is by taxi or ride-hailing.

Yandex Go operates in Namangan and shows the price before you book. If you take a street taxi, agree the fare first. The trip takes about 15–25 minutes (estimate).

Pro

Price shown upfront in the app

Watch-out

No confirmed public transport

03

FoodTraveler Tips & Hacks

Eat in town first

The current terminal only has a few small cafés and kiosks.

We could not confirm opening hours, so bring snacks for early-morning or late-night flights. More restaurants and duty free are planned for the new terminal.

Pro

Quick snacks available

Watch-out

Limited choice and uncertain hours

04

LoungeTraveler Tips & Hacks

Ask before relying on the CIP hall

A paid CIP service exists, but there's no published price and no lounge-card access.

Uzbekistan Airports' CIP service includes separate check-in, passport and customs lanes, a bar and food. The Namangan price is blank on the operator's tariff table, so call the help desk (+998 69 228 68 90). We found no Priority Pass, LoungeKey or DragonPass lounge.

Pro

Skips the queues

Watch-out

Price unpublished

05

NavigationTraveler Tips & Hacks

One building, simple layout

Departures and arrivals are separate parts of the single terminal.

Check in, then go through passport and customs control for international flights, then security and the waiting hall. A much larger new terminal is due to open by the end of 2026, so check with your airline around that time.

Pro

Hard to get lost

Watch-out

Small and can feel crowded
