Yarajy Airport

Common Complaints

• Surreal and Dystopian Atmosphere: The vast emptiness of the terminals, coupled with the constant presence of guards "watching your every move," creates a "bizarre" and at times "dystopian" atmosphere that can be unsettling for travelers.
• Limited Activity: Despite their capacity to handle millions, these airports often see only a handful of flights and passengers daily, leading to a lack of typical airport amenities and bustle.
• Security and Immigration: For Türkmenabat International Airport (CRZ), a key airport in Turkmenistan, recent data indicates security screening wait times averaging around 26 minutes, and passport control/immigration averaging about 8 minutes. While generally low traffic, the presence of security and customs procedures is standard.
• Lack of Direct Transportation/Parking Information: Specific traveler reviews detailing direct experiences with transportation connections or parking at these underutilized airports were not readily available.

Overall, traveler experiences at international airports in Turkmenistan, like the one frequently described, are distinctive. They offer modern facilities and virtually no crowds, but this comes with a unique and somewhat isolated ambiance, often noted for its quiet and the visible presence of surveillance.
