Feb 15, 2010 (newstodate): The long drawn-out plans for modernization of Russia's Nizhny Novgorod Strigino Airport are now being re-vitalized.
The estimated 150-200 mio USD investment is to be secured by a tender calling for private investors to team up with the regional government that will keep its 25 percent + one share to still retain a decisive influence.
In the plans is the construction of a new passenger terminal, a new ATM infrastructure, a new cargo terminal and other facilities.
The plans will be realized in two phases, with the first phase ending in 2012, and the second in 2016.
The plan is based on the assumption of an increase in passenger volumes from today's 300,000 to 1.6 mio in 2030, and a growth in cargo volumes from 800 to 1,600 tonnes in 2030.
A former agreement with Moscow City government to buy 90 percent of the stake in the airport was abruptly nullified in 2008, leaving the airport company to seek a new strategy for modernisation.
The planned tender calling for investors has, however, been on the agenda for more than one year, probably delayed by the effects from the global financial crisis.
