TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, June 18. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev inspected the construction progress at Tashkent-East Airport, Trend reports, citing the Uzbek President’s office.
In light of Uzbekistan's progressive trajectory and escalating
global attractiveness, the nation is strategically prioritizing the
enhancement of its transportation infrastructure to facilitate
prospective expansion.
The revitalization of Tashkent-East Airport represents a pivotal
strategic initiative designed to facilitate expedited, secure, and
user-centric air travel that aligns with global benchmarks,
concurrently alleviating congestion at the primary airport in the
capital.
The initial phase encompassed a comprehensive overhaul of the
4-kilometer airstrip, now engineered to support a diverse array of
aircraft, including the heaviest models in the sector.
At present, there are two terminals in the development
phase—designated for official delegations and business
aviation—accompanied by associated apron and hangar
infrastructures.
The aerodrome will incorporate cutting-edge radio navigation
systems and meteorological instrumentation accredited to ICAO
Category III-A specifications, guaranteeing operational safety
under adverse meteorological conditions.
Enclosed aeronautical facilities are currently under construction
to optimize the secure maintenance and storage protocols for
aircraft assets.
Due to its strategic positioning, the newly established airport is
poised to emerge as a pivotal transportation nexus for Tashkent and
New Tashkent, catalyzing tourism influx in the region while
enhancing the framework for international engagements and
investment opportunities. This initiative is poised to catalyze
economic dynamism, stimulate employment opportunities, and augment
Uzbekistan’s attractiveness as a prime investment destination.
President Mirziyoyev conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the
project parameters and mandated an acceleration of the construction
timeline while enhancing the service delivery benchmarks.
