MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 08th January, 2022) The airport in Kazakhstan's Almaty will be closed until January 10, the press service told Sputnik on Saturday.
"The airport is closed until 00:00 on January 10, that is, we are extending it for a day," the airport's spokeswoman said.
The press service of the airport previously announced that the Almaty airport would be closed until midnight on January 9 due to the unrest in the country.
Passenger flights to and from Almaty were suspended after the air hub was captured during a week of violent protests in the beginning of 2022. Kazakh security forces recaptured the airport and began overseeing it alongside Russia's contingent of the Collective Security Treaty Organization peacekeeping mission, a spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry said Friday.
