In 2006 Turkmenistan had an estimated 29 airports, of which 22 had paved runways and one ( at Ashgabat ) had a runway longer than 3, 000 meters.

One heliport was in operation.

In the mid-1990s, the Ashgabat airport was enlarged and modernized.

Smaller international airports are located at Dashhowuz and Turkmenabat.
