Sary-Arka Airport (KGF/UAKK) is the main commercial airport serving Karaganda, the fourth-largest city in Kazakhstan and a major industrial center. The airport is named after the Sary-Arka steppe landscape of central Kazakhstan and handles both domestic and limited international traffic. The facility supports connections to Almaty, Astana (Nur-Sultan), and other points within Kazakhstan, playing an important role in linking the Karaganda industrial region to the rest of the country. It has undergone modernization efforts in recent years to improve passenger handling capacity. Karaganda is historically significant as a former Soviet industrial hub, and the airport reflects the city's continued economic importance in Kazakhstan's mining and manufacturing sectors.
