MANCHESTER, England, Mar. 29 /PRN= KYODO JBN/ --
Donetsk Sergey Prokofiev International Airport officially signed as Host
of 2013 event
Routes is delighted to announce that Donetsk Sergey Prokofiev International
Airport was officially appointed today as the Host for the 3rd Routes CIS
event, to take place on 21-23 July of this year.
Routes CIS is the only route development forum for the entire CIS region
and the 2013 event is expected to attract around 250 delegates. The event will
offer the region's airlines and airports, as well as those from outside the
region with an interest in increasing air connections to the CIS countries, the
perfect platform to do business and improve air transport networks.
"We are delighted to announce Donetsk International Airport as the Host of
Routes CIS 2013," said Katie Bland, Future Hosts Director for Routes. "The
Event will offer the Routes community the opportunity to see the first-class
airport facilities at the newly built airport, as well as experience the
cosmopolitan city of Donetsk and the thriving and diverse region of Donbass. We
look forward to working with the dynamic team at Donetsk Airport to deliver a
great event."
Kirill Osypov, CEO of S.S. Prokofiev International Airport Donetsk
emphasizes that his team is ready to do their best to organise the event to the
highest level: "We appreciate that the organisers of Routes CIS have expressed
confidence in our team and to become the Host of such a high level aviation
event is a big honour for us. Widening the reach of our air transportation is
one of the main priorities not only for our airport development strategy, but
also for regional and government politics for the modernization of the aviation
industry. Thus, on behalf of International Airport Donetsk I guarantee that
forum participants will have the most comfortable conditions for productive
professional discussions, besides which we will prepare an amazing sightseeing
tour for the Routes CIS 2013 guests, that allows them in a short time to see
all of the tourist attractions in the Donbass region."
With a population of over one million inhabitants, Donetsk is one of the
largest cities in the Ukraine and is the administrative centre for the region
which has a population of over four million people which makes up 10% of the
overall population of the country. The Donetsk region is also the country's
largest industrial centre incorporating metal, coal and chemical industries as
well as heavy machinery.
Donetsk was also one of the host cities for the European Football
Championship 2012 and in accordance with the plan for Euro 2012 a new airport
terminal and runway was constructed in 2011. This new runway is able to land
all kinds of aircraft without exception and the terminal has a capacity of
3,100 passengers per hour. The airport is now able to serve up to five million
passengers per year, making it the second busiest airport in the Ukraine.
Located seven kilometres away from the city centre, Donetsk Airport has a
catchment area of 6.5 million potential passengers and flies to 29
international and domestic destinations.
