FlightGlobal says a Russian billionaire, Suleiman Kerimov, is building a business aviation facility at Kubinka air force base near Moscow. With 10% of the base’s land (excluding runway), estimates for construction of a new passenger terminal, aircraft flightline, servicing, and maintenance facilities run about $25 – 27 million.
Apparently, Kerimov’s company Nafta Moskva has not worked out a detailed land use plan yet, but plans are in the works.
“Nafta Moskva has been looking for an opportunity to build a business terminal for its own requirements in response to take-off queues…Lack of infrastructure in Russia for business aviation has been an increasing problem, with the sector growing at around 15% a year until the advent of the economic crisis in 2008.”
