Prime Minister Vladimir Putin tours Novosibirsk’s Tolmachevo Airport, currently under reconstruction

Vladimir Putin visited the newly constructed air traffic control centre, where he learned more about the layout of the airport, the Urals' largest air transport hub, linking Europe and Asia.

A new runway has been completed at the airport to serve large aircraft, such as the Airbus A380. The estimated cost of the project exceeds 5 billion roubles. The airport's general director reassured the prime minister that the runway will be up and running in July in response to his question.
