It is planned to complete full reconstruction of the air harbor in Noviy Urengoy by the end of 2021. This information was given to the news agency “Sever-Press” by the executive director of the airport “Noviy Urengoy” Roman Bochkov. The capacity of the new airport will four times increase.

The project is unprecedented by scale; the amount of investments will be more than 7 milliard and 200 million rubles. This is the first concession, when the investor takes on itself full-scale reconstruction of the runway and construction of the new terminal complex with the capacity 1 million and 500 thousand passengers per year and the area more than 10 thousand square meters.

“Construction will take three years; the terms are associated with a short construction season.

The bidding procedure will begin after completion of design.

The new terminal will have national coloring and northern character – comfortable, clear, cozy and hospitable. These are the qualities that northerners are famous for. Following fashion trends, architecture of the air harbor will have a kind of arctic highlight - from a distance the lines of the complex will resemble choums of tundra dwellers - the true owners of this land. (A choum is home for northern nomads, reindeer herders; it is a tent covered with reindeer hides and similar to a tepee). All this national exoticism will be generously flavored with conveniences of the world’s airports - passengers will be able to board the plane without going outside, there will be three telescopic ladders. On the airport square in front of the new terminal it is planned to arrange short-term and long-term parking areas with the capacity of 200 and 300 cars respectively.
