  Currently, the airport has 24 boarding bridges, including bridges with two arms designed for wide-body aircraft (Boeing 747, Boeing 767, Boeing 777, Airbus A330, Airbus A340, etc.) and a two-level bridge with three arms for Airbus A380;

• apron buses (Neoplan, Cobus, Ford);

• sewage cleaning and water trucks (Volvo, Mercedes);

• unique special vehicles for deicing: Elephant Beta Standard and Elephant Beta 15 from the world's leading manufacturer Vestergaard, and SDI 218 from Safeaero, whose distinctive feature is that the driver acts as the aircraft deicing operator, which reduces the staff costs.

Aircraft ground handling technology:

• information system of operational vehicle control using the GPS (Global Positioning System) technology;

• RMS (Resource Management System) - an information system for resource management providing efficient support to operations;

• SAFEDOCK - automatic aircraft positioning system at the parking position with a boarding bridge;

• BRS (Baggage Reconciliation System) - an electronic system for reconciling checked in and loaded baggage;

• backup message generator BSM (BBG) for delivery of backup BSM messages to the automatic baggage handling system (BHS), in cases where the airport's host DCS or the airline are unable to deliver the BSM message by standard methods.

Number of aircraft handled

Development plans:

• implementation of aircraft anti-icing with the engine running to reduce aircraft ground handling time;

• upgrades to the equipment and vehicles;

• upgrades to RMS: providing staff with mobile PDA devices to receive instructions and send completion reports.
