“Hosting Routes CIS 2012 is a great privilege and a variety of opportunities for us,” said Yevgeny Chudnovsky, Chief Executive Officer, Koltsovo Airport. “The projects currently implemented at Koltsovo surpass the scope of the airport development and expansion to the air gateways of Nizhny Novgorod, Samara and ultimately all other Russian airports. To have Routes CIS hosted in Ekaterinburg is a perfect opportunity for us to give an insight into our plans and achievements to our colleagues, to share our expertise in introduction of new technologies, related to airport operation in particular, to find new partners, and to enhance the route network for our passengers.”
Due to its location on the border of Europe and Asia, Koltsovo Airport (SVX), one of Russia’s leading airports, plans to develop into a regional feeder hub feeding both European and Asian network carriers. The airport currently has over 35 Russian and foreign airline partners connecting Ekaterinburg with over 90 cities in Europe, Asia and Northern Africa. SVX have recently been focusing on the construction of the ‘New Air Cargo Logistic Village’ project which will aim to deliver world class facilities for air cargo handling and operations in order to support the growth and development of air freight in Russia.
