An international AEROFORUM dedicated to reconstruction of Kharkiv airport and construction of a new international terminal, was held. The aeroforum united nearly 700 delegates and guests from 35 countries and 50 aviation equipment producing companies.
The event is marked as another step to improve the image of the city as the leading transportation, technological, scientific and trade center of Ukraine.
The main sponsor of the airport construction is a famous businessman Alexander Yaroslavskiy, whose name is among the top ten of Ukrainian oligarchs.
