Vedecko-vyskumna A.C. logistics company (Slovakia) is interested in the restoration of the full-fledged work of Uzhgorod International Airport.
According to the press service of Zakarpattia Regional State Administration, its head Hennadiy Moskal held a meeting with the leadership of Vedecko-vyskumna A.C., which was conducted by former Ukrainian MP Serhiy Moshak.
During the meeting, the head of the regional administration noted that after the termination of the relevant interstate agreement between Ukraine and Slovakia, the airport serves aircraft only in line of sight.
“Since UkSATSE’s equipment installed in Uzhgorod is obsolete and does not meet the requirements of the European Union, there is practically no hope of re-signing an interstate agreement between Ukraine and Slovakia, Therefore the timeliest launch of a full-fledged work of the airport is possible if it is taken into concession by a company from the EU. The only condition of Zakarpattia Regional State Administration and the regional council for concessionaires in case of successful resolution of the issue is the restoration of regular air service between Uzhgorod and Kyiv,” the report says.
President of the Slovak company Robert Spisak noted if the project is implemented, at the initial stage it is ready to launch three weekly flights to Bratislava, Uzhgorod, Kyiv, and in future to introduce flights from Uzhgorod to Budapest, Vienna, Prague, and the resorts of Turkey, which are very popular during holidays.
