Stages of reconstruction
Before the end of World War II, the terminal was reconstructed for a long time, because, as they say, there was no stone left on a stone.
It was only in 1977 that experienced architects gave the Rostov air terminal a look that turned it into one of the main sights of the city.
At the same time, time does not stand still, and the existing architectural appearance of the airport is somewhat outdated - it does not correspond to the spirit of the modern era. Taking this into account, the administration of the Rostov airport decided to modernize the transport infrastructure facility. Has been increasedthe territory of the departure hall for foreign destinations, and in 2007, work was completed on the reconstruction of the international arrivals hall. It was also replaced with modern equipment for check-in, baggage inspection, document checks, and the waiting room was equipped with TVs, a bar and buffets.
As a result of the above transformations, Rostov-on-Don Airport has become a modern competitive transport platform, which now serves about 800 passengers per hour.
The 17,000-square-meter facility is home to airline representative offices, ticket offices, delegation and official meeting rooms, kiosks with souvenirs and printed matter, ATMs and currency exchange offices. Nearby is a hotel for the resettlement of guests of the city, which provides a room for mother and child.
