Jun 25, 2018 (newstodate): In 2015, The Korean company SAMOO Architects & Engineers- the architectural division of Samsung - won the tender for the development of Simferopol Airport in the Crimea.
The company has now, however, announced that it will not proceed with the project, citing a fresh assessment of the political sensitivity of the project.
It is known that the Ukrainian government considers all international cooperation with Crimean authorities and companies illegal due to Russia's internationally condemned occupation and inclusion of the Crimea into Russia.
Russia is keen to develop the infrastructure of Crimea including the opening of a new passenger terminal at the airport on April 16, 2018, as well as a new bridge providing direct access over the Kerch Strait to the Crimean peninsula.
