Once completed, the new BHS system is expected to improve efficiency at the airport and facilitate travellers’ experience.

The new terminal at Kyzylorda Airport is being supported by funding from Bulat Utemuratov’s Foundation.

It is expected to double the airport’s capacity.

Last month, Alstef secured a BHS contract from Strasbourg Airport in France.

The contract scope included the addition of a new make-up carousel and the overhaul of the outbound system for oversized items.

Last year, Alstef received a contract to upgrade the international terminal baggage handling and screening system at Henri Coandă International Airport in Bucharest, Romania.
