Nov 09, 2010 (newstodate): Plans for a new international airport on the border between Ukraine and Russia are resurfacing again.
The airport will be located on the boundary between Belgorod, Russia, and Kharkov, Ukraine, and the business case is focused on the handling of imports by freighter aircraft from China to Russia and Ukraine.
The plans were first aired in 2004, and later again in 2007, but have so far stranded on lack of financing.
According to industry sources, the renewed effort to launch construction of the green-field airport is backed by investment promises from a Russian investment company.
