Chernivtsi airport after repairs to the runway can receive medium-range aircraft with low engine arrangement.

“We have finished the renovation of the runway, putting into operation 17.7 million UAH. By results of examination the head of Gosaviasluzhba signed an Addendum to the certificate of the airfield. Now we can accept code 4C aircraft, e.g., Boeing 737-500, Embraer 190/195 AirbusA319”, − said General Director of international airport “Chernivtsi” Boris Marine.

Now in Chernivtsi flies only the UIA, and to complete your flight from Kiev it was forced to take on wet lease from Dniproavia Embraer 145. “It was a temporary solution, because this plane has only 50 seats, and its operation on this route uneconomical. Now MAU will be able to fly their Embraer 190 and Boeing 737 and more than one hundred passengers,” said the Marine.

As of April 14, MAU runs a second frequency of the flight from the capital, the General Director of “Chernivtsi” hopes that in the future will still be open. “Three airlines already have on hand purpose from Gosaviasluzhba on flights from Chernovtsy. The MAU — tel Aviv, Istanbul and Bergamo. At Bergamo they have already requested and received slots in the summer schedule. Aneira have an appointment in tel Aviv, we received their query for aviation security and said that our airport and the staff meets all requirements. Still have company, “Bravo”, it is true, Charter program in Hurghada, Sharm al-Sheikh. But we already have experience with them in winter served four flights to Hurghada. Now Bravo announced the desire to fly to Antalya in the summer”, lists the Sea.

Note that aktivizatsiya flow became possible after the repair of the runway. However, the airport needs renovation. Who and how will it be now discussed. “There are two options — the state takes over the issue of reconstruction. Then the airport should be transferred from communal to state ownership. A second option is to request money to Fund regional development. Which option will choose deputies of local Council, I don’t know, but the reconstruction of the airport in our region is urgently needed. Without her to develop tourism is very difficult,” says Marine.

He noted that the development of the project of reconstruction requires 3 million UAH, and for works need from UAH 100 million depending on the solutions offered by designers. For comparison, the reconstruction of the airport “Kherson” in recent years we have invested UAH 250 million, but it was never completed.
