A new Ukrainian airline flying international routes is to be set up in Kherson by the end of this year, Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan tells Reuters in London in a story headlined: “Ukraine seeks to bring in more airlines, sell airport contracts.” Serving Kherson and neighboring Mykolaiv, Kherson International Airport also is the closest airport to Crimea, a region only served by flights to Russia. To further boost regional air traffic, Omelyan also told Reuters he hopes to offer at public tender the administration of “concessions of 3-5 airports early next year.”
