Samarkand International Airport is Uzbekistan?s second busiest airport. However, existing airport facilities ? which were first built in 1967 – did not meet modern international standards and could not cater for anticipated, increased visitor levels.
The need for a modern, high-tech, international quality airport to act as a gateway to historic Samarkand was therefore urgent, and a material motivating factor.
Redevelopment of the Samarkand International Airport is now 80% complete and entails reconstruction of the international terminal, and construction of another terminal. The project also includes construction of 24 parking spaces to accommodate all types of aircraft, and a 700-space passenger car park.
When complete, the airport?s capacity will increase from 350 to 1,000 passengers per hour, increasing potential passenger traffic from 460,000 to 2 million per year, and increase scheduled flights from 40 to 120 per week into Uzbekistan.

The project is anticipated to be completed in September 2021.
