Beslan Airport is the main airport in North Ossetia, which serves the city of Vladikavkaz. It was put into operation in the mid-30s of the last century, at that time the first civil flights to Astrakhan and Rostov-on-Don began to be made from here. At the end of the 70s, serious reconstruction began, which included the construction of a new runway, control tower, terminal building, etc.
After this reconstruction, which was completed in 1982, the airport was able to receive Tu-154 aircraft (at that time, the Tu-154 was a first-class aircraft).
At the end of the 80s, the airport in Vladikavkaz experienced a serious rise, a large number of new directions were opened - to Kiev, Samarkand, Minsk, etc.
During the military conflict between North Ossetia and Georgia, the airport was very busy; in a short period more than 1000 Il-76 aircraft were served here. Obviously, after such a load, the runway was in poor condition, so after the end of the conflict it was closed for repairs.
In 1998, the established airline Alanya began to operate the airport, which made a great contribution to the development of the airport. In 2009, regular communication with the cities of the near abroad was again established. Today the airport serves over 200 thousand passengers a year.
