Kokshetau International Airport (IATA: KOV, ICAO: UACK) serves the city of Kokshetau, the administrative center of Akmola Region in northern Kazakhstan. It provides air connectivity for the surrounding steppe region and handles both domestic and limited international traffic. The airport operates as a smaller regional facility within Kazakhstan's national aviation network, primarily handling flights connecting Kokshetau to Almaty and Nur-Sultan (Astana). Its international designation reflects its technical capability rather than a large volume of international scheduled services. Kokshetau itself is known for its scenic lakes and nature reserves, and the airport serves as an access point for visitors to the nearby Burabay National Nature Park, a popular resort area.
