President Ilham Aliyev and First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva acquaint themselves with the construction works performed at the Fuzuli International Airport

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva acquaint themselves with the construction works at the Fuzuli International Airport, August 29.

First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva shared a video from the Fuzuli International Airport, entitling:” Our next trip to territories liberated from the occupation. Heading for Shusha”. 

In the video made in the car, President Ilham Aliyev says: “We are approaching the Fuzuli International Airport. There is an air terminal complex on the left and the runway ahead. Only a few months have passed, and the airport is almost ready for inauguration. Construction of the airport started this year. I had told that the Fuzuli International Airport will be commissioned this year. Maybe no other airport in the world was constructed with such a rapid pace. The runway is almost ready. Final works are carried out here. I want to once more note that this year, I laid the foundation of the airport, and now we are coming to acquaint ourselves with the construction works. This airport is Karabakh’s air gate”.

The Fuzuli International Airport is constructed to meet the latest standards in this sphere. Commissioning of the passenger terminal is expected to be completed till the end of September, taking into consideration launching the operation of luggage conveyers, registration and other systems.

A 3000 m long, 60 m wide runway has been commissioned at the airport.  The airport will allow to receive any type of aircraft. A platform has also been constructed here.  Construction of the Air Communication Control Tower, which has been provided with automated systems, has been completed. Thanks to it, commencement of flights complying with ICAO and IATA standards will be possible. 

A car parking for 150 cars has been built before the terminal in order to ensure passengers’ comfort. In addition, works are underway also on the construction of a road to enter the Fuzuli International Airport, as well as greenery planting works on territory of the airport.

Construction of the Fuzuli International Airport, meeting such standards, in a short span of time in Fuzuli district on the instruction of President Ilham Aliyev is indeed a matchless event, and this is an obvious example of the ideas of the Azerbaijani President about performing reconstruction and construction on the lands liberated from the disagreeable enemy.
