Putin to discuss construction & modernization of Russian airports.
.
KISLOVODSK, Southern Russia, July 7 (Itar-Tass) - Russian Prime
Minister Vladimir Putin will on Wednesday hold a conference on
construction and reconstruction of airports in Russia as part of his
working trip to the North Caucasian Federal District.
The meeting to be attended by government members and the leaders of
specialized federal agencies will discuss prospects for development of
airports in Russia as well as measures of additional support for the
transport industry," a source in the Russian government said.
The prime minister will hear reports on the reconstruction of several
airports in various parts of the country in the regime of a
videoconference.
Putin briefly raised the question of airport construction at the
recent inter-regional conference of the United Russia party. The subject
was "The Strategy of Socio-Economic Development of the North Caucasus up
to 2020. The Program for 2010-2012."
"The next few years will see the reconstruction of all, I would like
to emphasize, all basic airports in the North Caucasus: Magas in
Ingushetia, Beslan in North Ossetia-Alaniya, the Shpakovskoye airport and
Mineral Waters in Stavropol. We will also build a modern airport in
Nalchik," Putin said. He added that 485 million roubles had been allocated
from the federal budget in 2010 to reconstruct three airports such as
"Kavminvody" (the Caucasian Mineral Waters), "Magas" and "Grozny".
Putin pays regular attention to problems of airports. As lately as in
May he and Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov discussed the extension of the runway
at Moscow's Vnukovo airport. Putin promised to order the Russian transport
minister to study the issue.
A month earlier, in April, when Prime Minister Putin was attending a
United Russia party inter-regional conference in Novosibirsk, he spoke
about the need to develop airports in the Siberia.
"The construction of the second runway has been completed at the
Tolmachyovo airport in Novosibirsk. Airports in Gorno-Altaisk, Kyzyl,
Barnaul, Kemerovo and other cities will also be modernized," he emphasized.
"The reconstruction of an airport in Khatanga was finished in 2009.
The same will be done in Igarka in 2010. Reconstruction works are being
planned for Tur and Yeniseisk. Correspondingly, regional aviation will
also develop. The demand for it there is extremely great. It's
fundamentally important for the Siberia," the prime minister emphasized.
At present, there are 328 airports in Russia's civil aviation
register. The number of airports has decreased by 973 since 1992.
Forty-six percent of all runways with a synthetic surface and 18% of
runways with a clay surface need to be modernized. Only 65 % of Russian
airports are equipped with lighting navigational aids.
