In his speech Evgeniy Yankilevich highlighted the need for a new approach to the provision of a modern terminal infrastructure for air hubs. "It stands to reason that the terminal of the future should be designed to handle transfer passenger traffic with minimum time spent on formalities, he said. – This issue will be resolved with the help of planning, technologies and process automation. And the core values of today, such as personal health and safety, time and comfort of passengers as well as global approaches to the terminal functionality should also be taken into account".

We remind that at present design works of Tolmachevo passenger terminal are underway. It is planned to implement the project by means of private investments by 2025 in two stages with the completion of the first, main stage in 2022. At least 11.5 billion rubles will be allocated by the shareholder for the design and construction of the passenger terminal until 2022. By 2022 the airport expects to increase passenger traffic to 10 million people a year.
