Since December 1969, the airports department under the leadership of its first head, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor V.I. Blochin has begun its work as profile and graduation department for the training of specialists in the specialty "Construction of aerodromes". Under his leadership, the first curriculum of the Airports Faculty and the curricula of special disciplines were developed, the team of teachers was formed, the first manuals were published and technical means of training were created.  Within a short period of time the department created and equipped training laboratories for building materials, engineering networks of airfields, engineering geodesy and aerogeodesy, engineering geology, soil science and soil mechanics, the study of research and design of airports.  Graduate designing at the department was based on the assignments of airlines. During 1972-1992, 786 diploma projects (including 138 foreign students) were defended, many of which were put into real airfields operation. The staff of the airport department is represented by photo of 1979 and nowadays the department having a new name of airports and highways reconstruction is represented by photo of 2010. During all its history the department was headed by: associate professor Belinsky I.O. (1979-1999), associate professor Talanov G.P. (1999-2000), associate professor Shinkarchuk M.V.
