The cargo customs point at Koltsovo Airport of Yekaterinburg is about to start operating twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty-five days a year.

‘Given the growing pace of economic development in Russia on the whole and in Ural Federal District and Sverdlovsk Region in particular, and given especially the foreign investors’ interest in the region and Yekaterinburg’s strategic location on the border of Europe and Asia, and given finally the fact that Koltsovo Airport is virtually the only international airport in Ural Federal District, we can predict that the value of imported and transported cargo will only keep increasing in the future,’ Ural Customs Administration reports.

According to the information provided by the customs, Koltsovo Airport proved Russia’s fourth busiest airport in terms of international cargo operations, preceded only by Moscow-based airports.
