Limak–HBK Consortium Selected to Develop New Bukhara International Airport in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan Airports has announced that the Limak–HBK Consortium, comprising companies from Türkiye and Qatar, has been selected as the winning bidder for the development of a new international airport serving Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
The project will be delivered through a public-private partnership (PPP), with the consortium expected to undertake the development and operation of the new airport under a 23-year agreement.
The proposed airport will be constructed at a new site approximately 26 kilometres from Bukhara city centre, covering an area of around 307 hectares.
Plans include a modern passenger terminal designed to accommodate up to 1,200 passengers per hour, providing additional capacity to support the region’s growing aviation and tourism sectors.
The development is intended to improve international connectivity to Bukhara, one of Uzbekistan’s principal historic and cultural destinations, while supporting the country’s wider programme of airport infrastructure modernisation.
The selection of the winning consortium represents a significant step towards the delivery of the project, although the construction timetable and final investment arrangements remain subject to further confirmation.
