Manas Air Base

"The Manas air base (which is informally called the Ganci air base by the Kyrgyz side) was opened in 2001 as part of the U.S.-led military campaign against the ruling Taliban militia in Afghanistan. It is located at Bishkek's Manas Airport.



The base has grown in strategic importance since the United States military was forced last year to vacate the Khanabad air base in neighboring Uzbekistan."
