In addition, passengers will be provided with a transfer between the airports of Nukus and Urgench.
“In particular, it is planned to replace and strengthen the runway surface along the entire length of 3,000 m and a width of 16 m. A major overhaul of the surface of the second and third taxiways will also be carried out,” the report reads.
It is noted that after the completion of a major overhaul of the runway, Urgench Airport will be able to accept wide-body aircraft such as Boeing 787 and Airbus A330 without restrictions.
The last major reconstruction of the runway at Urgench airport was carried out in 1997, and partial repairs of damaged areas were carried out in 2018.
