Modern infrastructure, improved services and convenient navigation will make time at the airport more comfortable and help passengers get through pre-flight procedures faster," said Alexander Neboga, Air Astana's Vice President for Ground Handling.

According to the announcement, five automated checkpoints for verifying passengers and boarding documents have been installed at the airport to speed up pre-flight procedures.
