The area of the international flights terminal at Islam Karimov International Airport has been expanded from 45,000 square meters to 65,000 square meters as part of the reconstruction project. This was announced during a press tour organized by "Uzbekistan Airports" JSC.
The expansion was achieved by extending towards the car parking area. In this regard, the barriers in front of the departure terminal have been removed, allowing vehicles to reach the building.
For information, road cameras integrated with traffic systems have been installed at the entrance to the terminal, and the system operates automatically. That is, vehicle owners who exceed the permitted parking time will automatically receive a fine notice. Currently, the allowed parking time at the terminal is set at up to 10 minutes for all passenger cars, tourist buses, and minibusses.
A hall with an area of more than 2.5 thousand square meters has been built and put into operation within the departure terminal itself. An initial screening for passengers and visitors has been organized at the entrance. People must place their luggage in the scanner and pass through a metal detector.
The hall includes 40 check-in counters: 37 in the general hall, 2 in the SIP hall, and 1 in the VIP hall. Various services are available, including baggage wrapping, SIM card purchase, ATM services, charging stations, and vending machines.
To access the check-in area, an elevator, stairs, and an escalator have been installed in this zone, allowing access to the upper floor.
Additionally, within the framework of the construction, the "Pax Track" system has been installed to quickly locate passengers who are late for their flights. This turnstile, which is currently operating in test mode, has been installed after the check-in area. The passenger needs to scan their boarding pass, and the employee needs to scan their permit.
