From the transcript:
A. Nikitin: Dear Mikhail Vladimirovich! Dear colleagues!
Context
There are currently 225 airports operating in Russia, and in accordance with your decisions and those of the Government, there will be 241 airports by 2030. We are also modernizing 75 more airports under the presidential program.
Direct flights are currently available to 42 countries. This is 19 more than the 2022 target, and today we are opening three more significant facilities.
In Grozny, we have a new air traffic control center with the most modern 50-meter tower in Russia. In Izhevsk, we are opening a terminal with an area of 10,800 square meters. In Murmansk, we are opening a terminal with an area of over 7,000 square meters.
Allow me to give the floor to Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov, the leader of the Chechen Republic. Please.
M. Mishustin: Good afternoon, friends! Please.
R. Kadyrov: Dear Mikhail Vladimirovich! Greetings, dear colleagues!
The construction of this facility was made possible by the leadership of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the team of the first president of the Chechen Republic, Hero of Russia Akhmat Abdulkhamidovich Kadyrov.
The command post meets the latest safety standards.
A. Nikitin: Thank you, Ramzan Akhmatovich. I now give the floor to Aleksandr Vladimirovich Brechalov, Head of the Udmurt Republic.
A. Brechalov: Dear Mikhail Vladimirovich, I greet you from the new terminal of the Izhevsk airport named after Mikhail Timofeevich Kalashnikov.
This is a long-awaited facility for all residents of Udmurtia. The old building was constructed over half a century ago and, of course, couldn't handle the passenger traffic, which has increased sevenfold in just seven years.
Mikhail Vladimirovich, this facility was created thanks, of course, to the support of our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Your support.
