BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 20. The administrative
building of Khovaling Airport in Tajikistan’s Khatlon region has
been commissioned after reconstruction.


This was stated in a press release from the press service of the
President of Tajikistan.


The facility was opened on June 20 by President of the Republic
of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon during his working visit to Khovaling
district.


"The reconstruction and modernization of the airport’s
administrative building were carried out by local entrepreneurs as
part of the country’s development and improvement policy," the
report said.


Furthermore, the modern facility was built as part of
preparations for the celebration of the 35th anniversary of
Tajikistan’s State Independence, incorporating contemporary
architectural requirements and national design elements.


The building includes office spaces, waiting halls, a conference
hall, passenger reception and departure areas, as well as a hotel.
The infrastructure has been adapted to improve passenger services
and provide better working conditions for airport employees.







During the visit, President Emomali Rahmon reviewed the
conditions at the airport and praised the quality of construction
work, noting the importance of initiatives by local entrepreneurs
aimed at developing infrastructure and improving living
standards.


The President also emphasized that the project could serve as a
model for the construction and modernization of local airports in
other cities and districts of Tajikistan.


Meanwhile, the opening of the reconstructed administrative
building of Khovaling Airport can be viewed as part of Tajikistan’s
broader efforts to develop transport infrastructure, improve
regional connectivity, and enhance the quality of services for the
population. The modernization of local airports could contribute to
the expansion of domestic air links, improve access for residents
of remote areas to major economic centres, and create additional
conditions for the growth of tourism and business activity in the
Khatlon region.


The involvement of local entrepreneurs in the implementation of
such projects also highlights the growing role of the private
sector in infrastructure development. In the long term, facilities
of this kind could become an important element of regional economic
development, while their impact will depend on effective operation,
expansion of flight routes, and maintaining appropriate service
standards.
