History
The first airport in this location was built in 1937 as a base for Soviet Po-2 biplanes. On 12 March 1967, a new modern airport complex was opened with a 2,000-metre (6,600 ft) runway, taxiways, an apron, hotel, and office space. That same year, direct flights to Moscow began. On 2 January 1975, the runway was lengthened from 2,000 to 2,500 metres (6,600 to 8,200 ft), and the airport began to receive Tu-154 planes. In 1995, the airport officially became an international airport. In 1998, the airport's runway was further lengthened to its current length of 2,850 metres (9,350 ft). On 26 June 2008, a new arrivals area was opened with a capacity of 500 people per hour. On May 27, 2010, the Altai Krai Legislative Assembly officially named the airport after Gherman Titov. A new 7,000-square-metre (75,000 sq ft) international area and runway extension are planned, which will allow the airport to receive all types of aircraft without restrictions.
