Odesa’s new runway will be completed by the end of this year

Odesa’s new runway will be completed by the end of this year, Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan, tells reporters, noting this year’s spending will be $27 million. With two European discount airlines in the ‘final stage of negotiations,’ Odesa airport could handle 3.5 million passengers in 2021, Omelyan predicts. That would be 2.5 times the 1.4 million carried last year.
