History
The airfield "Muynak" as 3rd class airport, was able to take the An-24, Yak-40 and additional light aircraft, as well as helicopters and so on.
From the 1960s to the early 1990s, an An-2 aircraft link was based at the aerodrome; up to 19 passenger flights were made on local air lines (in particular, to Kungrad, Nukus, Urgench, Takhtakupyr, Kazakhdarya, Aspantay, Tuley) points.
Since the 1990s, it has been used as a landing platform for aerial work (in particular, for agrochemical measures to combat locust foci in the southern Aral Sea region).
