Siberian Scenery Development – URMM Mineralny Vody
Mineralnye Vody International Airport is the largest airport in the Stavropol Territory and the North Caucasian Federal District, one of the largest in the South of Russia. It is a federal airport, also has international status. The airport is located west of the city of Mineralnye Vody at a distance of 4 km.
By 2006, the runway fell into disrepair, as a result of which the airport stopped accepting low-engined (under-wing) aircraft. Soviet-made aircraft (Tu-154, Yak-42, Tu-134) were allowed to fly. As some of these aircraft are being retired due to low fuel efficiency, in 2008-2009. the airport left a number of Russian and foreign carriers: S7 Airlines, STC Rossiya, Aeroflot, Armavia, AZAL, etc.
Since 2006, parallel to the existing runway, the construction of a new one, 3900 m long and 60 m wide, has begun, as well as the replacement of the taxiway and apron for aircraft, and the construction of a new terminal. Runway-2 was officially opened on July 13, 2011. Completion of the construction of a new runway runway-2 with a complex indicator of the bearing capacity of pavements PCN 47 RAWT allowed the airport “Mineralnye Vody” to accept all design types of aircraft without weight and intensity restrictions. The new runway is certified for landing foreign-made aircraft with low-mounted engines (Boeing and Airbus).
