Mineralnye Vody Airport was recently reconstructed. All adjacent territories and runways were modernized. The reconstruction of the airport was a forced measure, because by 2006 the airfield was in such a state that for technical reasons it could not accept some aircraft models. Therefore, someRussian and foreign airlines. Soon the reconstruction of the airport building and the construction of a new runway next to the old one began. The project was financed by the Government of the Russian Federation.
In 2007, a new arrivals terminal building was opened for domestic and international flights, but passengers were sent from the old premises, the technical equipment of which left much to be desired. In 2008, a new system was introduced at the airport - electronic tickets. After that, Mineralnye Vody again began to cooperate with the State Customs Committee "Russia" and opened several new destinations for flights.
By 2011, a new departure terminal for domestic flights was partially launched. Inside, new cash terminals and information boards have been launched, the area and comfort of waiting areas have significantly increased, and modern conveyor belts have been put into operation.

During the year, a second runway was commissioned and certified for landing model aircraft with low-mounted engines. This allows us to count on an increase in passenger traffic due to a larger number of partner companies.
