Samaran Airport seeking private partner

It was back in Aug-2010 that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev approved plans to transfer 50.99% of Kurumoch International Airport’s shares from the Russian Government to the Samara Region in order to attract EUR231.4 million in investments by 2015 for a public private partnership to upgrade the airport. The region plans to construct a new terminal and upgrade the airport’s engineering systems and services. What has been a slow process may now be nearing fruition.
