ZANGILAN – INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PROJECT

Completed Project Reference – KDT Industry

Introduction: Building a Gateway to the World

The Zangilan International Airport, located in Azerbaijan, is one of the country’s newest and most strategic aviation projects. Developed as part of the regional reconstruction program, the airport is designed to serve as a gateway for trade, tourism, and logistics, connecting Azerbaijan to global markets.

KDT Industry played a key role in this ambitious project by delivering industrial storage tanks, water and fuel systems, and heavy steel fabrication to support both construction and long-term operations. Our involvement demonstrates our ability to contribute to critical transportation infrastructure at an international scale.
