The airport was opened on October 22, 1954. It is made in the style of "Stalin Empire". On the ground floor there is a waiting room, a cafe, a car rental office, a police station, banks, a newsstand. On the perimeter of the second floor is a balcony, here is a restaurant. The facade is decorated with arched niches with sculptures. In the hall there are still ornamented columns and a ceiling decorated with stucco.
