On July 18, deputy head of the Volyn Regional State Administration Vasyl Baitsym held a meeting of the working group on the development of the investment project "Restoration of the operation of the state enterprise OJSC 'Lutsk Aviation Enterprise'," reported the own correspondent of the Western Information Corporation.
According to Vasyl Baitsym, this concerns not only the restoration of Lutsk Airport in the village of Krupa, but also the signing of an agreement on the joint use of the runway of a military airfield, where even modern Boeings can land. The total need for investment funds amounts to 11.5 million US dollars. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine authorized the development of the investment project following the example of Japanese investments at Boryspil Airport.
The restoration of the operation of OJSC "Lutsk Aviation Enterprise" will allow not only domestic and international air transportation of passengers and cargo, but will also ensure the conduct of aviation-chemical works to provide services to agriculture and forestry, the gas and oil industries, geology, and healthcare institutions.
Currently, Lutsk is perhaps the only regional center in Ukraine that has not had its own airport, aircraft, and proper technical equipment for several years.
