Most important tips

Know before you go

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

Code

File UCFO, not UAFO

The current ICAO code is UCFO. The operator's English page still prints the old code UAFO.

Terminal

Use the existing building

The new terminal was unfinished in the February 2026 site report, and no opening was confirmed by 24 September 2026.

Check-in

Cutoffs are not on the operator page

An unofficial page says 3 hours before international flights and 1 hour before domestic, closing 40 and 20 minutes out. Ask the airline.

Water

No published fountain or bottle price

The operator page does not map a refill point or print a water price. The VIP hall lists tea and coffee only.

Live conditions

Right now at OSS

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Terminal navigation guide

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

From Terminals & Navigation

Osh International Airport (OSS, UCFO) is a civilian public airport in Osh, the main city of southern Kyrgyzstan. The operator page calls it the country's second-largest airport and a hub for the south. It is not an airbase.
Airports of Kyrgyzstan operates it. The English page says the airfield is ICAO class 4D and Interstate Aviation Committee class B, able to take most medium-haul types and some wide-bodies.
The same page dates the airport to 1974, with regular operations from 1975. It lists runway 12/30 as 3,212 by 45 metres and says a 400 metre extension in 2018 allowed heavier aircraft. Wikipedia's facilities section also gives 3,212 by 45 metres after a 2019 reconstruction. The Wikipedia infobox length of 2,812 metres does not match either of those.
Field elevation is 892 metres (2,927 feet) on the operator page, Wikipedia, and OurAirports. The operator page itself warns that an earlier draft had pasted Manas figures into this block.
The operator prints pavement code PCN 50/F/B/X/T. Wikipedia's facilities section still prints 30/F/B/X/T. Neither figure is an AIP extract, so do not treat one as settled.
Published capacity of the current terminal is up to 600 passengers an hour, international and domestic combined. Coordinates on the operator page are 40.609 N, 72.793 E.
Aircraft the operator lists as handled include Boeing 737 (all models), 757, and 767, Airbus A319, A320, and A321, Tu-154, Il-76, and lighter types.
Asman Airlines, the state carrier owned by Airports of Kyrgyzstan, is described by the airport as flying from Osh to Bishkek and Karakol. Asman's own about page lists Osh in a domestic network and says international flying is a plan for 2027, subject to approvals.

Ground transport guide

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

From Ground Transport & Parking

The airport is about 9 km north of the city centre. There is no railway station.
Marshrutka 107 is repeatedly described as the east-city route, and 142 as the west-city route, with a stop outside the terminal. Hours are commonly given as about 06:00–21:00. Travel time is listed anywhere from about 30 minutes to 50–60 minutes.
The bus fare is not an official published tariff. One unofficial airport page prints 10 som, another listing prints 11 som, and a local Osh transport page prints 20 som to the central bazaar. Pay the fare the driver is charging that day.
Those same pages put taxis at from 250 som, or 300–400 som, up to about 40 minutes inside the city, and available overnight when the marshrutkas have stopped.
The operator's English page does not publish a parking price. An unofficial parking page prints 30 som an hour and 150 som a day for a lot of up to 600 cars on the south and north sides of the forecourt, plus a free lot of up to 100 cars, 24 hours. That site says it is not the official airport site and that prices are not a public offer.
The new terminal project includes a planned parking garage for 650 cars. That garage is part of the unfinished complex, not a lot you can use today.

Lounge & amenity notes

Lounge, food, and quiet-spot picks pulled from the markdown guide.

From Lounges, Food & Amenities

The operator's English page does not describe a lounge, a food court, public Wi-Fi, or a drinking fountain.
Ural Airlines' airport note and an unofficial Osh page both describe a VIP hall in a separate building beside the terminal (the airline note says the right side; the other page says the east side). Staff handle check-in, baggage, and passport and customs formalities away from the main queue, with tea and coffee included and a minibar charged extra. A minibus runs between the hall and the aircraft.
The tariff is described only as commercial. No som price is printed. The unofficial page prints 24-hour opening and the phone +996 (3222) 90060. The operator's English page does not confirm either. Priority Pass, LoungeKey, and DragonPass are not named.
Cafes, shops, ATMs, and a mother-and-child room appear as menu items on the unofficial site. Names, hours, and prices are not on the operator page, so treat them as present in some form and check on the day.
No drinking-fountain map and no bottled-water price are published. Bring water or buy it after you see a counter.

Editorial guide tricks

The markdown guide's highest-signal tactics before the data-backed tips below.

From Best Airport Tricks & Hacks

Use ICAO UCFO on a flight plan. The Airports of Kyrgyzstan English page still prints the former code UAFO. OurAirports records the change from UAFO to UCFO in 2008.
The airport is open 24 hours. It is one terminal, about 9 km north of central Osh, at Aeroportskaya Street 1A.
A new terminal was still a construction site in the last public progress report (26 February 2026). Do not follow signs into the construction area, and do not assume the new building is the one handling your flight.
Check-in cutoffs are not printed on the operator's English page. An unofficial passenger page says to arrive 3 hours before a CIS or long-haul flight and 1 hour before a domestic flight, with check-in closing 40 and 20 minutes before departure. Confirm with the airline.
Marshrutkas 107 (east side of the city) and 142 (west side) are the buses named on several Osh pages. They are described as running about 06:00–21:00. The fare is not stable across those pages (10, 11, or 20 som).
There is no airport railway. After the buses stop, use a taxi. Published taxi fares also disagree (from 250 som, or 300–400 som).
The only lounge-style product described in public pages is a separate VIP hall with a commercial tariff and no printed price. Priority Pass, LoungeKey, and DragonPass are not listed by the operator.
The operator's English contact block prints mobile 0551 000 686 next to a placeholder email. Do not treat that email as a working address.

The new building was a construction site in February 2026.

Public pages print 10, 11, or 20 som for routes 107 and 142.

Service is described as about 06:00–21:00. There is no airport train. A taxi is the option after the buses stop, and those fares also disagree.
