The project implementation will allow the airport to operate flights of modern aircrafts type B-737-800/900 and A-320/321, that provides interest of large airlines and increases volumes of passengers and cargo transportation for the airport. After the successful implementation of the project, the airport can become a crossing point between Asia and Europe.
