The document was signed between Uzbekistan Airports JSC and the Saudi company Vision International Investment. The project will be implemented in cooperation with leading companies from Saudi Arabia, Japan and the Republic of Korea.

According to the Ministry of Transport, according to the agreement, the new airport will be transferred to the management of a private partner for a period of 35 years on the basis of public-private partnership mechanisms.

The construction of the airport complex is planned to be carried out in 2026-2030 on the territory of the Urtachirchik and Kuyichirchik districts of the Tashkent region. The project will be implemented on an area of 1,310 hectares, while at the initial stage it is expected to attract about $ 3 billion in foreign direct investment.

The project provides for the construction of a modern passenger terminal, which will be four times larger than the existing terminal of the capital's airport. At the first stage, its capacity will be up to 20 million passengers per year, and in the future this figure is planned to increase to 46 million.

To ensure a high level of passenger comfort and safety, modern digital technologies will be introduced in the new terminal, including accelerated check-in, baggage screening and handling systems.

In addition, the project provides for the construction of more than 160 aircraft parking lots and the installation of over 40 telescopic ramps. Two new runways will provide the possibility of simultaneous take-offs and landings of aircraft.

This will allow performing more than 30 take-off and landing operations per hour. The use of modern navigation, meteorological and safety systems will ensure the reception of all types of aircraft in all weather conditions.

Special attention is paid to the airport's transport accessibility. For the convenience of residents and visitors of the country, it is planned to create a modern transport infrastructure with road and rail links connecting the airport with the capital and regions of the republic.

It is expected that the implementation of the project will contribute to the further development of the economy, tourism and logistics, as well as strengthen Uzbekistan's position as one of the key aviation and transport hubs in Central Asia.
