Manas airport builds 650-car parking facility with license plate search system
A five-story indoor parking facility for 650 cars has been completed at Manas International Airport. The facility will be equipped with an intelligent system that will allow passengers to find their left vehicles by license plate. A full-scale launch of the parking lot is expected in about a month and a half.
Manasbek Samidinov, chairman of the board of Airports of Kyrgyzstan OJSC, told journalists about this.
Upon returning from a trip, it will be enough for the driver to enter the vehicle's license plate for the system to show the exact parking spot. The new parking lot will be paid. Tariffs have not yet been approved and are planned to be presented before the facility launches.
Logistics hub and aircraft maintenance
The parking lot is one of the projects under the large-scale modernization of Manas Airport. Another direction is the creation of a bonded zone and a logistics hub.
The master plan provides 100,000 m² for class A and B warehouse facilities. At the first stage, two hangars with an area of 20,000 m² each are planned to be built.
It is expected that the project will attract major international operators, expand cargo handling capabilities, and develop combined logistics.
Jointly with investors, the company is also implementing a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) station project for aircraft. Its main clients are expected to be domestic air carriers, including Asman El, as well as foreign airlines operating flights to the region.
An open-air aviation museum has already begun to be established on the airport territory. The first aircraft exhibits are being installed there.
Winter preparations and construction of regional airports
The company pays special attention to the operation of airports under changing climate conditions. In summer, high temperatures affect their operations, while in winter, fog and precipitation do. Therefore, production and technical services have been transferred to an enhanced operating mode to ensure flight safety.
A new terminal with an area of over 12,000 m² is being built in Manas. In parallel, a runway, taxiways, and other airfield infrastructure facilities are under construction.
Construction of an air terminal complex with an area of over 25,000 m² continues at Osh International Airport.
