International flights began operating on a trial basis at the new passenger terminal of Muravyov-Amursky Blagoveshchensk International Airport (Ignatyevo) in early October, the airport’s press service reported.
The new terminal’s international sector can handle up to 400 passengers per hour. The border checkpoint features up-to-date equipment. There are eight passport control booths for departing passengers and another eight for arrivals, as well as four Sapsan automated border control systems. These allow passengers to complete border checks automatically using biometric data.
Passengers also have access to a dedicated business lounge and a separate baggage claim area beyond the border control point.
The new terminal’s current schedule includes regular international flights to Beijing and Harbin, as well as charter flights to Vietnam.
