Dushanbe International Airport (IATA: DYUICAO: UTDD) is an airport located in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. Work has begun on upgrading facilities at the airport. Funds made available from unnamed sources will finance enhancements to the runway and apron and the upgrade of the terminal buildings (originally built in 1964) to handle modern western aircraft.[1] A new airport has been scheduled to be built to the west of Dushanbe by Indian contractors, allowing the current Dushanbe International airport to be converted in future to a VIP airport.[citation needed] Tajik Air has its head office on the airport property.[2]
