Today, November 15, the International Economic Forum DEF’2018 is taking place in Dnipro, bringing together successful businessmen, investors, politicians, diplomats, and experts from around the world.
One of the topics discussed on the sidelines of the forum was the situation with Dnipro’s airport. As is known, the runway of Dnipro International Airport belongs to the state. Its renovation is estimated to cost around 2.7 billion UAH. At the same time, well-known Ukrainian businessman Oleksandr Yaroslavskyi has expressed readiness to undertake the reconstruction of the airport terminal.
Prominent Ukrainian businessman and investor Vadym Iermolaiev believes that Dnipro cannot continue to live without a modern airport.
He stated this in a comment to the news agency MOST-DNIPRO:
“The current state of the airport in Dnipro is dismal. Dnipro cannot continue to live without a proper airport, like any regional center. An airport is needed to retain qualified personnel, to welcome foreign businesspeople, and to preserve the city’s minimal tourism potential,” he said.
