The Federal Agency for Air Transportation and the government of Vologda Oblast have signed an agreement on granting a subsidy to the region for co-financing of reconstruction of the airport in the town of Veliky Ustyug.

      During the period from 2018 to 2020 it is planned to extend the runway, install new navigation equipment as well as conduct repairs in the airport complex. If the number of tourists continues to grow at such a high pace, the question of further expansion of the airport and the organization of international air transportations over the long term can be considered.

      This town is known as a residence of Ded Moroz (Russian Santa Claus). According to the legend, Velikiy Ustyug it is the starting point of Ded Moroz’s New Year travel, which he undertakes every year to bring joy and presents to everyone. A range of festive events is celebrated along the year in Velikiy Ustyug.
