Next spring, the new terminal of the airport «Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky» in the city of Elizovo will receive its first passengers. Its capacity will be 1,145 passengers per hour.
As the regional government told «Kam 24» news agency, residents of the region will be able to forget about receiving luggage in the ill-fated «greenhouse» and jostling in the cramped premises of the existing airport.
«Airport in the city of Elizovo – is the main air gate of our peninsula. Already in the spring of 2025, not only a modern and functional airport will open its gates, but also the most beautiful airport in Russia, which, from an architectural point of view, will be an independent point of attraction and a source of pride for us. It will be a thing of the past to receive luggage in our ill-fated «greenhouse» and crush in the cramped premises of the outdated airport», – said Vladimir Solodov.
The area of the new passenger terminal building will be 50 thousand square meters. In addition to the arrival and departure halls, it will house a hotel, souvenir shops, clothing, leisure goods and catering outlets. The new passenger terminal is equipped with five telescopic ladders with the ability to increase their number to eight. The capacity of the new terminal will be 1,145 passengers per hour. Short-term and long-term parking will be installed on the station square.
