Omelyan plans to increase number of airports in Ukraine up to 50

The number of airports in Ukraine should grow up to 50.

"I believe in digital infrastructure, I believe in 50 airports in Ukraine, in electric public transport, modern railways, developed river [transport] and a single transport network with the EU countries," Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan said at the Kyiv International Economic Forum, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

The minister reminded that the Government of Ukraine had already approved the National Transport Strategy until 2030. "You may not believe. But if these plans are not implemented, we will have no future. We will never be able to catch up with the progressive world that moves away from us every minute," he noted.

Omelyan urged to stop talking about enormous potential of Ukraine and finally start to unlock it in practice.
