History
On June 4, 1992, the Ingush Republic was formed by the Law of the RSFSR. In connection with the difficult transport situation and isolation from the outside world, in which the newly formed republic found itself, it became necessary to create and establish air communications. It was decided to create its own airport as soon as possible on the basis of the former branch of the Armavir Military Flight School.
On November 28, 1992, by Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 2185-R, the establishment of the Ingushetia airport in the Republic of Ingushetia was legally established. The Ingushetia airport was built with the buildings, equipment and special vehicles necessary for its operation. In a short time, competent specialists were trained for all airport services and their certification was carried out.
On January 25, 1993 at the Ingushetia airport, the first landing was made by a Yak-40 aircraft. Thus, only a little more than a month passed from the day the decision was made to establish its own airport in the republic and until the landing of the first aircraft.
In 1995, by order of the President of the Republic of Ingushetia R.S.Aushev, it was decided to build a new airport.
On September 21, 1999, by Order of the Government of the Republic of Ingushetia No. 353-r, the Ingushetia airport was renamed into the Magas airport. By 2000, the construction of the new Ingushetia airport complex was completed.
On March 23, 2007 FSUE "Airport Ingushetia" also acquired the status of JSC "Airport Magas". Thus, the airport is finally assigned to the capital of the Republic of Ingushetia - the city of Magas.
In May 2008, for the first time, the Republic of Ingushetia purchased its own Tu-134 for Magas Airport.
On December 27, 2011, for the first time in the history of the Republic of Ingushetia, a Boeing airliner, one of the leading Russian airlines, UTair, landed on the runway of Magas airport with 116 passengers on board.
On February 7, 2012, in order to perpetuate the memory of the first Hero of the Russian Federation, Honored Military Pilot of the USSR, Candidate of Military Sciences, Major General of Aviation Sulambek Susarkulovich Oskanov, by the Decree of the Head of the Republic of Ingushetia Y.B. Yevkurov No. 15 of OJSC "Airport Magas" Magas airport im. S. S. Oskanov ".
On the station square of the airport on a pedestal there is a fighter plane of the Russian Air Force MiG-29, on the same one, Sulambek Oskanov performed his last flight and at the cost of his life, took the falling fighter away from the settlement, thereby saving the lives of many civilians.
