We will do everything to implement these plans, to make Uzhgorod airport a part of not only Ukrainian, but also international aviation industry – Mykhailo Rivis says.
According to the acting head of the Department of Housing and Infrastructure of the RSA Eduard Malyar, Uzhgorod Airport is unable to maintain and develop its infrastructure on its own. To preserve it and to ensure its finctioning, there is the Program to improve the functioning of the airport for 2013-2016.
