Construction of the new airport has been completed

On August 27, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev inspected the new airport built on the basis of the Tashkent-East airfield.

As our country develops and its international authority strengthens, connections with the outside world become more and more active. In this regard, measures are being consistently taken for the comprehensive development of transport infrastructure.

One ​​of such strategic projects was the business aviation complex based on the Tashkent-Vostochny airfield. Its construction began in 2017. The large-scale project, having gone through the pandemic and subsequent difficulties, was successfully completed.

The total area of ​​the airport is 561 hectares. The 4-kilometer-long runway and three taxiways were completely reconstructed, making it possible to accommodate even the heaviest aircraft. An apron for 20 aircraft was built. Modern hangars have been built for Boeing 787, A320, business jets and helicopters, ensuring their safe storage in optimal conditions.

VIP and CIP terminals have been built at the airport. The hall for high-ranking guests provides all conditions for official meetings, negotiations and briefings. The CIP terminal, designed to accommodate 100 passengers per hour, will have shops and catering areas.

It is especially important that the airport is equipped with modern radio engineering and meteorological systems of ICAO III-A category. This will make it possible to ensure takeoffs and landings even in difficult weather conditions.

Thanks to its convenient location, the new airport will become an important transport hub for the capital and New Tashkent. Opportunities for international visits and business trips will expand, and conditions for foreign investors will improve. As a result, economic activity will increase, the service sector will receive an impetus for development and new jobs will appear.

The head of state also talked on site with representatives of the public and the older generation.

– After much preparation, we have built a new airport that will provide a high level of service for guests of our country. This will relieve congestion at Tashkent International Airport. A large complex is also planned for it in another location. In general, large-scale projects are being implemented in all regions. Let new buildings strengthen our well-being and serve the people, and let peace always reign in the country,” the President noted.
