Bukhara International Airport lies on the northeastern edge of Bukhara, the historic city that gives the Bukhara Region its name, and serves as the region's principal gateway for scheduled airline traffic. For a visiting VFR or IFR pilot the field offers a single long, hard-surfaced runway with an instrument landing system, making it a straightforward destination in an otherwise flat stretch of Uzbekistan.
Bukhara International Airport serves the city of Bukhara, capital of the Bukhara Region in Uzbekistan, and is operated by JSC Uzbekistan Airports. It is a public airport handling both domestic and international scheduled services, and for a simulator pilot it presents an interesting single-runway international field set amid the Central Asian steppe close to one of the region's most historic cities.
The airport sits on the northeastern edge of Bukhara city, giving convenient access to the urban area. No detailed airspace classification, controlled airspace boundaries or neighbouring aerodromes are given in the available sources.
Bukhara has a single physical runway, 01/19, of hard surface construction measuring 9,807 feet in length. It is lit and equipped with an instrument landing system serving runway 01, making it usable in a range of visibility conditions.
