Expansion plans
On May 27, 2016, it was announced that the airport will in future be operated by OOO Meschdunarodny Aeroport Tscheboksary , a joint venture between the Moscow aviation fueling company Aerofuels and OOO Aerotechnologii . Almost all employees of the formerly state operating company were taken over. Over the next few years, over 500 million rubles will be invested in expanding the airport. Among other things, a new building for the airport fire department is to be built.
Incidents
Due to an icy runway, a Boeing 737-800 of the Pobeda airline , which came from Moscow, came off the runway on November 11, 2016 . After the landing process was completed, the machine slipped off the runway when turning around. All 184 passengers remained unharmed and could be rescued from the aircraft. The airport remained closed for several hours after the incident because the black ice made it impossible to tow the aircraft to a parking position.
