Description of the air harbor of Tyumen
Roshchino (airport) is located in the Tyumen region. The distance from the air harbor to the city of Tyumen is thirteen kilometers. Roschino is a federal airport. It receives and sends both domestic and international flights. Air carriers such as Yamal and UTair are based in this air harbor.
Besides Roshchino, in the vicinity of Tyumen there is another airfield - Plekhanovo. Local airlines are based here. However, they plan to close it soon, and build a large business center in its place.
History
Roshchino (airport) owes its appearance to the discovery and development of large oil and gas fields in the Tyumen region in the sixties of the last century. During this period, there is a rapid development of local aviation. After all, access to the deposits was complicated by complete lack of roads, and their development was possible only with the creation of an established aviation infrastructure. In this regard, an airport was built in Tyumen in a short time. It was designed to receive heavy aircraft An-22 and An-12, which transported various cargoes to the north of the Tyumen region. Passenger traffic at that time was carried out by aircraft of the An-24 type, and since 1972 Tu-134s have also joined them. In the next two decades, Roschino Airport has been actively developing. More and more cargo was transported through it to the northern regions of our country. Passenger traffic also increased. So, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, more than one and a half million people flew out from here every year in different directions.
Today, the passenger traffic of Roschino airport is just over one million a year. In 2012, a large-scale reconstruction began here. In its course, it is planned to modernize not only the water supply, heating and sewerage systems, but also the terminal building itself, as well as the station square. As a result, Roschino will become a modern, convenient airport meeting all international standards. Thanks to the increase in the area of the terminal, the throughput of the air harbor will also increase by a factor of three (from 250 people per hour to 800 people per hour). The construction of fivecovered telescopic airstairs will allow passengers to board directly from the terminal building without the need to pass along the street.
