  "terminal_info": "Kulob International Airport is the southern Tajikistan gateway for Khatlon Province, using a 3,000-metre runway and an international role long tied to labor traffic to Russia. That route pattern gives the airport a different passenger profile from purely domestic fields, with heavy emphasis on outbound and returning migrant travel.\n\nThe airport is therefore important not just for Kulob itself but for a much wider social geography in southern Tajikistan. Passenger peaks are shaped by work cycles, seasonal returns, and family travel, and the terminal experience tends to revolve around a limited number of meaningful international departures rather than a broad spread of destinations.\n\nTJU stands out because it is a regional airport with real international weight. Its significance is tied to household economics and cross-border labor mobility, so even though the route map is narrower than that of a capital-city airport, the field plays an outsized role in how southern Tajikistan stays connected to overseas work and remittance networks.",
