Kanysh-Kiya Airport (Kyrgyz: Каныш-Кыя аэропорту, Russian: Каныш-Кийский аэропорт (IATA: none (КШЯ))) is an airport outside of Kanysh-Kiya, a village in Chatkal District of Jalal-Abad Province (oblast) of Kyrgyzstan. The Russian IATA code for Kanysh-Kiya Airport is КШЯ.
Kanysh-Kiya Airport started its operations in the 1970s to serve the transportation needs of the miners in Kanysh-Kiya as well as the nearby Terek-Say and Sumsar. The current runway was built in the 1970s. The airport has no terminal as such, and has no instrument landing facilities and operates only during daylight hours.
Kanysh-Kiya Airport is currently not in use. However, there are plans to renovate it. Kyrgyz Prime Minister Jantörö Satybaldiyev in October 2012 said: "We should resume operations of the airport so that small planes would be able to fly here."
