SCO is the airport code for Aktau International Airport, serving the city of Aktau on the Caspian Sea coast in the far west of Kazakhstan. Aktau is a modern port city, built from the 1960s around uranium and oil, unusual in that its districts are numbered rather than named after streets. It is Kazakhstan's main city on the Caspian, an important centre for the oil and gas industry and a growing seaport and transport hub linking Central Asia across the sea toward the Caucasus and Iran. For travelers it is a gateway to the striking landscapes of the Mangystau region, a desert of dramatic chalk cliffs, canyons, underground mosques and strange rock formations, one of Kazakhstan's most extraordinary areas. Aktau is reached by flights into its airport, from within Kazakhstan and abroad, and by rail and road. The climate is dry and continental, with hot summers and cold winters.
