Zhytomyr regional authorities are talking with a private investor to build an air cargo hub at Zhytomyr airport, a 90-minute drive west of the Kyiv’s Ring Road. Vitaly Bunechko, head of the regional government, tells Interfax-Ukraine that the airport first needs $13 million in government aid to expand the runway by 50%, to 2,500 meters. Opened in 1939, the airport provides maintenance for Yanair’s all-Boeing fleet of 737s and offers easy access to Sergei Pavlovich Korolyov Museum of Cosmonautics.
