It was a notorious "ghost airport" around 2015; despite its size and cost, it handled just three to five flights per day.[5] By 2019, this number has been grown by more than 500% to reach more than 17 flights per day.
Facilities
The airport will have one runway that is 2,600 meters long and 45 meters wide (class 4C), and a 13,000 square meter terminal building. It is projected to handle 200,000 passengers and 900 tons of cargo annually by 2020.[1]
