Another stage of large-scale reconstruction has been completed at Tashkent International Airport, significantly expanding the terminal’s area. Currently, the capacity of the international terminal at Tashkent Airport is 7 million passengers per year. In 2023, the airport served 6.8 million passengers, and this year, the passenger flow is expected to increase to 8 million. The full completion of the reconstruction is planned for 2026, after which the airport’s capacity will increase to 13 million passengers per year.
New Departure Hall: Space and Amenities
The renovated departure hall now features a spacious lobby covering more than 2,500 square meters. Passengers can reach the check-in area via elevators, moving walkways, or escalators. Between the lobby and the main terminal building, there is a cozy green zone with benches. In the future, an open terrace covering 2,200 square meters with a city view will be added on the second floor of the departure area. This terrace will be accessible to both passengers and those seeing them off, providing additional convenience for all airport visitors.
In the lobby, besides the initial security check where items are scanned and people pass through metal detectors, various services are available, including baggage wrapping, SIM card sales, ATMs, charging stations, and vending machines. Special attention is given to passengers with small pets: a dedicated room has been created where they can calmly remove their pet from its carrier for inspection without causing undue stress.
Increased Space and New Access System
The terminal’s expansion was made possible by extending the facade forward toward the parking area. This change also led to an update of the access system: the airport no longer has a perimeter fence, and vehicles can now approach directly to the first floor of the building. Notably, traffic cameras integrated with Uzbekistan’s traffic control systems have been installed on the access road. These cameras will automatically record violations such as exceeding the permitted stop time (up to 10 minutes) and send fine notifications to drivers.
It is worth noting that short-term access to the terminal is permitted for all passenger cars, tourist buses, and minibuses, with a time limit of up to 10 minutes.
