The Novgorod regional administration has plans by 2012 to open the new Krechevitsy civilian airport using the premises and some infrastructure of the existing military aerodrome bearing the same name, Governor Sergei Mitin announced.
According to the governor, the cost of the project has been estimated to be around $50m.
A passenger terminal may reportedly begin construction later in the year.
Under plans, the existing runway will be drastically renovated and more infrastructure created.
The prospective project will be commissioned as an airport for intraregional flights with the possibility to make it international in future, Mr. Mitin said.
