Apr 1, 2008 (newstodate): Kazakhstan's Astana Airport has now obtained ICAO certification as a CAT IIIA airport.
The certification comprises operations on both runways.
This makes Astana the second CIS-airport only, following St Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport, to obtain CAT III certification for two landing strips simultaneously.
Moscow's airport Domodedovo and Shemeretyevo-2 also have CAT III, but so far on one runway only.
