Feb 20, 2015 (newstodate): Russia's Yekatarinburg Koltsovo Airport in the Sverdlovsk Region is aiming at a role as a cargo hub in the country's industrial center.
Heeding the call is now also Qatar Airways that is today launching a weekly Airbus A330-200F freighter service to the airport as part of a new route from Doha to Koltsovo Airport, continuing to Sialkot before returning to Doha.
In July 2012, the airport opened a 19,000 sq m terminal developed by the German company Hochtief Airports and designed as the first step in a project for a large-scale cargo village.
From 2018 till 2022 another 22,000 sq meter of terminal and office buildings will be added aiming at reaching a through-put of 80,000 tonnes of cargo by 2030, compared to the 31,000 tonnes handled by the airport in 2014.
