The design idea for the hall is a flight by V. P. Chkalov and his team to the US through the North Pole.

On the front wall there are 4 clocks in the style of on-board instruments with standard time: Moscow, Arkhangelsk, Vancouver, and Washington, D.C. The track walls are reminiscent of a fuselage from the inside. On May 18, 2012, portraits of pilots were added, Heroes of the Soviet Union: Valery Chkalov, Georgy Baydukov and Alexandra Belyakov. On the dark walls, places for advertising are styled as portholes of an airplane. There are lanterns in the floor along the safety line that light up with a creeping line when a train approaches. In the  passenger hall there is a row of 9 stainless steel mirrored columns along the axis of the hall. The color scheme is steel gray and bluish. Underground passages.
