Vladivostok Airport to Get an International Managing Company
JSC Sheremetyevo International Airport is organizing a tender to select an international managing company for the Vladivostok International Airport (VIA) and its new passenger air terminal.
Sheremetyevo is developing and reconstructing the Vladivostok International Airport, which will become one of the strategic facilities for the 2012 APEC Summit.
Federal target programs and private investments are used by the Vladivostok Airport to build a new passenger terminal of 50 thousand sq.m, reconstruct the runway and apron and build a new ATC, two fuelling complexes, motorway and railway.
The new facility will include a terminal for domestic and international airlines and engineering areas with an hourly traffic capacity of 1,360 people. Investments into the project will total $190 million. Sheremetyevo is financing the construction from its own and borrowed funds.
The new international terminal will create a sufficient traffic capacity to make the Vladivostok airport a major international hub.
Creation of a hub in the Far East will contribute to a fuller use of Russia’s transit capacity. It will also make air carriage more accessible, raise the mobility of the region’s population, develop infrastructure, create new jobs and improve the living standard as a whole.
Following a decision of President Dmitry Medvedev, 52.2% of the shares of JSC Vladivostok International Airport is now managed by JSC Sheremetyevo International Airport.
Sheremetyevo International Airport is a major Russian airport for international airlines. 100% of its shares is owned by the state. Sheremetyevo’s network of routes includes over 200 destinations. In 2010 the airport accepted 19,329 thousand passengers, which is 31% more than in 2009.
In 2010 the Sheremetyevo Airport became one of Europe’s leaders in terms of passenger service quality, in accordance with the ACI Europe data. In the 4th quarter of the last year, it became number three in service quality among European airports with a passenger traffic of 15 to 25 million.
