DCH Group president Oleksandr Yaroslavsky gave Dnipro journalists a tour of Kharkiv International Airport on 4 November and offered a glimpse of what they can expect in their own city if he proceeds with plans to reconstruct Dnipro International Airport.
The Kharkiv-based Ukrainian businessman has repeatedly confirmed his willingness to build a new terminal complex in Dnipro but will only begin work once the state has allocated sufficient funding to finance the necessary reconstruction of the airport’s runway facilities. “I have USD 70 million ready to invest and am ready to begin on schedule,” he underlined.
He anticipated rapid progress once an upgraded Dnipro International Airport was operational. According to Yaroslavsky, DCH Group could use its existing industry contacts to attract new airlines to what would be one of Ukraine’s most attractive regional air hubs with a catchment area population of over ten million Ukrainians.
