Airport history

The first official airport in Astrakhan was opened in 1936; it was located southeast of the city, near the village of Osypnoy Bugor (the airfield began to function in 1932). Now there is a sports airfield of the same name.

In 1945, the former military airfield Stalinsky (the current territory of the airfield) was transferred to civil aviation, which received the new name Narimanovo. The airfield had a dirt runway (runway) and one small brick runway. From that moment until the end of the 1970s, it was used as an airport for local airlines.

In the 1950s, Li-2 aircraft and Mi-1 helicopters were based at the airfield, in the early 1960s, Il-14 and An-2 aircraft arrived, in the early 1970s, An-24 aircraft and Ka-26 helicopters.
