Nukus Airport (IATA: NCU, ICAO: UTNN) serves the city of Nukus — the capital of Karakalpakstan, an autonomous republic within Uzbekistan. Located in the western part of the country, the airport plays a key role in connecting the region with major cities across Uzbekistan and neighboring countries.
The airport features two runways:
• RWY 15/33 — 3,000 meters long and 48 meters wide
• RWY 07/25 — 600 meters long and 25 meters wide
This infrastructure allows it to handle both large commercial aircraft and smaller aviation operations, including training and charter flights.
In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024, Nukus Airport is recreated with high realism — including detailed runways, taxiways, buildings, and the unique landscapes of Karakalpakstan, from vast flatlands to the distant echoes of the Aral Sea. It’s a distinctive destination for virtual pilots looking to explore lesser-known but atmospheric corners of Central Asia.
