The capabilities of Namangan International Airport will be expanded

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with the modernization project of Namangan International Airport. This was reported by the press service of the President of Uzbekistan.

The route from the Fergana Valley to other regions of our country lies through a pass and trains are not available in all directions. Therefore, life itself dictates the need to improve the airport infrastructure, which will provide a powerful incentive to the development of business, transport services and tourism.

As part of the project, it is planned to build a cargo terminal, catering and fuel refueling complexes, and other utility buildings. It is also expected to increase the capacity of the passenger terminal to 1 thousand people per hour. The cargo terminal will strengthen potential in the areas of business, export and transit.

In addition, the project provides for updating the fleet of special equipment, which will allow receiving and servicing aircraft of any type.

The head of state gave instructions on improving the efficiency of the airport, emphasizing the need to increase local and international flights and make full use of logistics capabilities. One of the main tasks should be to ensure the affordability of tickets.

At this point, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev completed his trip to Namangan and returned to Tashkent.
