Nov 21, 2008 (newstodate): Russia's Moscow City government will retreat from its plans to invest in the development program for the country's regional airports.
The decision is brought about by the needs to focus financial means on establishing Russia's new airline conglomerate, Rosavia, around the city government-owned Atlant-Soyuz.
Moscow City government earlier planned to invest in the development and reconstruction of 17 regional airports before 2010, but among these only Ivanovo Yuzhny Airport will be completed according to schedule as work has already started.
The other 16 airport in the program were Nizhniy Novgorod Strigino, Lipetsk, Kaluga Grabtsevo, Voronezh Chertovitskoe, Volgograd, Petrozavodsk Besovets, Bryansk, Tambov Donskoye, Orel Yuzhny, Orenburg Tsentralny Airport, Kursk Vostochny Airport, Vologda, Belgorod, Ulyanovsk Tsentralny Airport, Kurgan and Kostroma.
These airports will now have to consider other venues to financing of their development program, primarily through open tenders.
