The President made a corresponding statement when he got acquainted with the airport reconstruction plan, the main component of which is the construction of a new runway, the press service of the Head of State reports.

"We will help you. We will allocate funds, because we understand what the airport is for a million-plus city," he said.

According to the press service, Zelensky was presented three options of the reconstruction of the airport. The most acceptable project is the construction of a runway in the place of the old one. Other options offered to build a runway on a new territory, which required additional work on land allocation and an increase in project cost and timing.
