Mikhail Mishustin inspected the new airport complex of the Blagoveshchensk International Airport (Ignatievo) named after N.N. Muravyov-Amursky
Construction work on the new airport complex in Blagoveshchensk began in 2023. To date, the installation of the building's metal structures and 3,000 square meters of wall sandwich panels has been completed, and the installation of facade and stained glass structures is underway. Work is underway inside the building to erect partitions and engineering systems.
The airport's landscaping area is underway. Its park section will be converted into a recreational area of over 5,500 square meters. It will feature an amphitheater with a canopy, a rock garden, benches, and gazebos for storing luggage carts. The renovated landscaping area will be put into operation in the third quarter of this year.
To date, the modernization of the airfield complex has been almost completely completed using federal budget funds. A new artificial runway, 3,000 m long and 45 m wide, capable of accommodating all types of aircraft, is already being successfully used. It received its first flight in December 2023. A new taxiway, aprons, treatment facilities, an emergency rescue station, and a patrol road have also been put into operation.
The small aircraft apron is currently being reconstructed. Two more taxiways are planned to be put into operation by the end of the year.
Over 6 years, the passenger flow of Blagoveshchensk airport has grown more than 2.2 times – from 418 thousand people in 2018 to 928 thousand in 2024. More than a million passengers are expected in 2025.
Since May 2025, the regional highway Blagoveshchensk – Bibikovo, which connects the regional capital with the Ignatievo International Airport, has also been reconstructed. The project provides for the expansion of the road to four lanes and the separation of flows, as well as a comprehensive modernization of utility networks and outdoor lighting systems, the reconstruction of communication networks, electrical and heating networks, the organization of storm sewers and water drainage.
Today, the section of the Blagoveshchensk-Bibikovo road, running from the regional capital to the settlement of Aeroport, is the busiest highway in the region.
