Russian aviation. A bridge for aircraft traffic will be built at Sheremetyevo Airport Construction of runway 3 at Sheremetyevo Airport

It will be a great success if they manage to launch Runway-3 by the end of the year, says the top manager major airport. After all, a month before the 2018 World Cup, in mid-May, all construction will have to be curtailed at the request of the FSB - facilities will begin to be prepared to receive championship guests and check safety, the source adds.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sheremetyevo Alexander Ponomarenko told Vedomosti that it is critical for the airport that Runway 3 be launched in 2018 so that the airport can stop operating the badly worn Runway 1 and begin its repair. The launch of Runway 3 will increase the number of takeoff and landing operations at the airport from 55 to 90 per hour.

Bankrupt contractors

After the Olympics in Sochi 2014, many large road construction companies that had competence in the construction of airfields went bankrupt: Inzhtransstroy (the first contractor for Runway-3 at Sheremetyevo, the contract with it was terminated by the Federal Air Transport Agency in 2015 for falling behind schedule ; was part of Oleg Deripaska’s “Basic Element”, Efim Basin’s Inzhtransstroy corporation, Omsk NPO “Mostovik”, Sochi “Tunnel Detachment - 44”. They built Olympic facilities, which, due to careless assessment, turned out to be much more expensive than government contracts. In order not to miss the deadlines, the companies invested their money in the construction, counting on subsequent compensation, contractors told Vedomosti. But the state did not pay anything extra.

Representatives of the Federal Air Transport Agency, Sheremetyevo and Transstroymekhanizatsiya (contractor) declined to comment.

There is a risk of not being able to make it on time with a simpler and less problematic facility - the second runway at Domodedovo (RWY-2) worth 12.85 billion rubles. The airport has two lanes, the one under construction will replace one of the existing ones, which will become a taxiway. Runway-2 is 80% ready, but the contractor (Construction Department - 1) does not have funds for the work, Rosaviation reported. In 2016, SU-1 was declared bankrupt, a monitoring procedure was introduced, and it is difficult for it to attract working capital and receive advances from the Federal Air Transport Agency, explains a federal official. At such a high level of readiness, it is impossible to find a new contractor; SU-1 will complete the construction of the facility itself, but, apparently, they will launch it after the World Cup, the source adds. A person close to the Ministry of Transport also knows about the possible launch after the championship.

“Following the meeting, the Ministry of Transport gave instructions on completing the construction of airfield facilities as part of the preparation program for the 2018 World Cup. The airport is completing a comprehensive project to increase the terminal capacity on time,” says a Domodedovo representative.

“Airports will be able to accommodate World Cup guests without these runways; facilities have been included in the preparation program to ensure uninterrupted funding. It was provided, but problems arose among the contractors,” recalls the federal official.

Corrected version. The commentary of the Domodedovo representative is clarified in the penultimate paragraph

Sheremetyevo airport runway

New lanes at Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo have been under construction since 2011 and 2014, respectively, and were supposed to be commissioned in 2017 and 2016. Both facilities are included in the preparation program for the 2018 World Cup, which will be held in Russia from June 14 to July 15.

Runway-3 Sheremetyevo is the most expensive object of the program, it will cost 55.7 billion rubles, another 8.4 billion rubles. will be required to purchase land from residents for the sanitary protection zone of the strip. At the beginning of March, Runway 3 itself was only 55% ready, the readiness of the three taxiways ranged from 39% to 90%. An analysis of the situation suggests that it is impossible to complete the work within the time frame established by the 2018 World Cup program, that is, in May, the report notes.

The reasons for the delay behind the schedule, listed in the report, are as follows: the long settlement of issues related to the relocation of the gas pipeline and oil product pipeline and the registration of sites, courts with residents regarding the purchase of land for construction, and the complex geological structure of the area. In addition, the finished strip will have to be checked and certified by Rostechnadzor, so the actual date for its commissioning is September 2018. At the same time, a year ago, the Federal Air Transport Agency decided that Runway-3 would be launched for the 2018 World Cup in a truncated form, without one main and three additional taxiways, which would be completed later - in 2018-2020.

The top manager of the airport said that it would be a great success if they manage to launch Runway 3 by the end of the year. According to him, a month before the 2018 World Cup, in mid-May, all construction will have to be curtailed at the request of the FSB - facilities will begin to be prepared for receiving championship guests and security checks will be carried out.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sheremetyevo Alexander Ponomarenko told Vedomosti that it is critical for the airport that Runway 3 be launched this year so that the airport can stop operating the badly worn Runway 1 and begin its repair.

The cost of constructing Runway 2 at Domodedovo is 12.85 billion rubles. The airport still has two lanes - the one under construction will replace one of the operating ones, which will become a taxiway. Runway-2 is 80% ready, but the contractor does not have funds for the work, Rosaviation reported. In 2016, Construction Management - 1 was declared bankrupt; it is difficult for it to attract working capital and receive advances from the Federal Air Transport Agency, a federal official explained to the newspaper. At the same time, it is impossible to find a new contractor with such a high degree of readiness.

The federal official noted that airports will be able to accommodate World Cup guests without these runways, and the facilities were included in the preparation program to ensure uninterrupted funding. Although it was secured, the contractors ran into problems.

Construction project for the third runway runway at Sheremetyevo Airport will not be able to be completed in time for the FIFA World Cup, industry sources told AviaPort. However, Sheremetyevo will cope with the transportation program during the football championship within the existing infrastructure, and the commissioning of the third runway is largely related to the need to close one of the existing runways for repairs. That's why responsible persons a deferment was given until the end of the year, but this time - without the right to delay.

The third runway at Sheremetyevo Airport will definitely not be put into operation for the World Cup in Russia, four independent industry sources told AviaPort. In the Federal Air Transport Agency and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Administration" subordinate to it civil airports(airfields)" declined to comment.

The construction of Runway-3 is part of the Sheremetyevo infrastructure development project, which also includes the construction of a passenger terminal for domestic airlines (Terminal B) and a cargo terminal on the territory of the so-called northern terminal complex (STK), a fueling complex and an inter-terminal passage, which, passing under airfield, will connect the southern and northern terminal areas of the airport. “Construction work continues at the site,” reported the FSUE “AGA(A)”, which supervises the construction of the strip, on December 15. The general contractor is Transstroymekhanizatsiya (part of the Mostotrest group of companies), but it was not possible to contact a representative of the construction organization.

The construction deadlines for the strip were postponed several times. Lack of funding was cited as one of the key problems. In November, the Vedomosti newspaper, citing sources, reported that the cost of the project had increased to 64.1 billion rubles. At the same time, the source of additional funds has not yet been determined: various options are being discussed, up to the allocation of the necessary amounts through the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “State ATM Corporation” subordinate to the Federal Air Transport Agency. Judging by the statements of the head of the Ministry of Transport, Maxim Sokolov, which he made in an interview with RNS in September, this option was considered a priority.

But for quality assurance air transport During the football championship there is no urgent need for a third lane. Sheremetyevo reported that “the airport will be able to provide the transportation program [for the World Cup] using existing runways.” According to AviaPort, under favorable weather conditions, the runways can support up to 65 takeoff and landing operations per hour, while cases have already been noted when over 60 takeoffs and landings were actually serviced per hour. But the expected increase in the number of VPOs in connection with the reception of teams and fans, the peak of which will be in mid-July, will be less than the annual increase in the number of VPOs in late August and early September, when holidaymakers return en masse from their vacation spots.

However, the commissioning of Runway-3 is much more important not for ensuring the transportation program during the World Cup in the summer of 2018, but for closing one of the existing runways for repairs (we are talking about Runway-1, closest to the southern zone of Sheremetyevo). AviaPort’s sources find it difficult to name the time frame for repairs: according to their estimates, with various restrictions, the runway can be in operation until the first half of 2019. The closure of Runway 1 will significantly affect the throughput of Sheremetyevo, interlocutors fear, including due to the remoteness of Runway 3 from the main parking areas aircraft, but have not yet provided specific estimates.

However, in 2018, Runway 3 should not only be completed, but also put into operation, according to an industry source. He noted that at a recent meeting at the Ministry of Transport, responsible persons were promised serious personnel decisions if this deadline could not be met.

July 8, 2019
The third runway is scheduled to be put into operation on September 1. The first deputy spoke about this general director produced by Sheremetyevo International Airport JSC Andrey Nikulin.

“The deadline that was given to us by the Ministry of Transport and the Federal Air Transport Agency is September 1,” Nikulin said.

The third runway will increase the airfield's capacity from 55 to 90 takeoff and landing operations (ATO) per hour. In addition, the runway-3 hangar complex with an aviation technical base will be put into operation in 2020. The complex is planned to include at least seven hangars for servicing aircraft of partner airlines, parking for special ground service equipment and airfield services.

April 30, 2019
The flight readiness of the third runway (Runway-3) at Sheremetyevo Airport will take place after May 20, and full construction readiness is scheduled for July 1, 2019. This became known during an on-site joint meeting at the Runway-3 construction site, which took place on April 30, 2019.

January 11, 2019
The use of the new, third runway at Sheremetyevo Airport will be carried out without any restrictions. This was reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.

January 11, 2019
After commissioning, the third runway of Sheremetyevo Airport will accept night flights in a limited manner. This is stated in the explanatory note to the draft amendments of the Ministry of Transport to the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation, which concerns the procedure for establishing airfield territories in Russia. The project was published on the official portal of draft regulatory legal acts regulation.gov.ru.

Restrictions on takeoff/landing at night are introduced due to the proximity of populated areas. "The location of the strip next to large settlements Lobnya (5 km), Skhodnya (3 km), Zelenograd (5 km) will not allow its full use - due to high levels of aircraft noise, the number of flights at night will have to be limited,” the explanatory note of the Ministry of Transport says.

On the same day, the Ministry of Transport disavowed the meaning of the explanatory note. The use of the new, third runway at Sheremetyevo airport will be carried out without any restrictions, the press service of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation reported.

“The Ministry of Transport does not agree with the wording of some media regarding the use of the third runway at Sheremetyevo Airport. Its operation will be carried out without any restrictions thanks to the use of measures to reduce aircraft noise. This will be achieved through the introduction of new technologies for air traffic services, including procedures maneuvering in the airfield area. These technologies provide for precise adherence to specified flight trajectories - the aircraft flies exactly according to the established pattern, without deviations, including over residential buildings,” the Ministry of Transport said in a statement.

January 10, 2019
The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) opened a case against the companies PJSC Transstroymekhanizatsiya and CJSC Trest Kamdorstroy, which formed a cartel during the construction of runways at several airports, including Sheremetyevo. According to preliminary data from the FAS, the cartel's income amounted to more than 25 billion rubles. - these are 6-7 airports that fell into the scope of consideration. “Today this is the largest case in the construction industry,” said Andrey Tenishev, head of the FAS anti-cartel department.

The head of the Ministry of Transport, Evgeniy Dietrich, said that the construction of Runway 3, according to the department’s calculations, will be completed before the end of this year, but “the issue is not easy.” “We are working to ensure that the problem is resolved by November-December. Now it is quite difficult to predict how the situation will be resolved: there is a difficult situation with registration land plots, there are a number of problems that we are currently solving. But we will do everything possible to finish this year,” the minister assured.

The government will involve the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "State Corporation for Air Traffic Management" (GC for ATM) in financing the construction of the third runway (RWY-3) at Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport. The company will receive the functions of the customer-developer of the new runway-3. 7.7 billion rubles will be allocated from the Civil Code's own funds for ATM, including 3.2 billion rubles in 2017, 3.5 billion rubles in 2018 and another 1 billion rubles in 2019.

At the end of 2016, the airport faced a shortage of funds for the reconstruction and construction of all federally owned Sheremetyevo facilities; there was a shortage of 19 billion rubles, of which 13 billion rubles were required for Runway-3.

February 21, 2017
The tunneling of the inter-terminal passage under the existing runways has been completed. The inter-terminal transition project includes the construction of two stations, passenger and baggage tunnels, which will unite the airport terminal complex under one “roof” and ensure prompt transportation of baggage and passengers.

January 24, 2017
The Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Government of the Moscow Region have allocated funds in the total amount of 1.4 billion rubles for the liquidation of an unauthorized landfill at the construction site of Runway-3. Despite certain difficulties, construction is progressing according to schedule, and the facility will be fully built by the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Currently, work is being carried out to install culverts, fill an embankment with sand, build a drainage network and an overpass across the Sheremetyevskoye Highway, and work is underway to lay the top layer of coating. More than 180 units are employed at the facility. equipment and over 1 thousand workers.

December 2, 2016
The construction of the third runway faced a shortage of funds - for a project worth 35.5 billion rubles. Another 13 billion rubles are required, and the total deficit for all state facilities at Sheremetyevo is 19 billion rubles. A shortage of funds arose during the construction process, “the project is being adjusted” taking into account the unresolved issues of relocating the gas pipeline and resettling villages. The Federal Air Transport Agency does not see “insoluble problems” because it “understands where to get additional funds from.” Part of the money will be transferred from other airport facilities “due to the resulting savings.” 8 billion rubles. will be redirected from other facilities, 4.5 billion rubles. will be attracted upon return of the advance payment not worked out by the contractor. At the end of November, Special Presidential Representative for Ecology and Transport Sergei Ivanov said that the Moscow Region, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Natural Resources will allocate 1.3 billion rubles. to eliminate the landfill on the site of Runway 3, “without going into the budget.”

The third runway at Sheremetyevo Airport can be built in a truncated version - without one main track and one connecting taxiway, which were initially provided for by the project, said Alexander Ponomarenko, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sheremetyevo International Airport JSC. According to Ponomarenko, the contract for the construction of the third runway in Sheremetyevo was concluded with the Transstroymekhanizatsiya company. “The company is working efficiently, and we believe that by the end of 2017 or the beginning of 2018 they will build the third lane. Let’s hope that we will be able to convince the government [to allocate additional funding],” Ponomarenko said. A source familiar with the airport’s plans said that we are talking about additional funding of 5 billion rubles.

Exit of the tunnel shield of the second tunnel

October 17, 2016
At Sheremetyevo Airport, work continues on the construction of the third runway and the northern terminal complex (NTC). As of mid-October 2016, the passenger tunnel of the interterminal passage was laid at 600 meters, it crossed the main taxiway, and the baggage tunnel reached 300 meters.

The following types of work are performed at the facility:

construction of shoulders and bases of lean concrete on runway-3;

The first section of the lane for ground public transport was put into operation on the section of the International Highway from terminals F and E to terminal D of Sheremetyevo Airport. In the future, work is planned to extend the strip to the intersection with the M11 Moscow - St. Petersburg highway. The opening of a dedicated lane is one of the stages of a whole set of measures aimed at increasing the comfort of use public transport for passengers and airport guests.

September 13, 2016
A road will be laid to the Sheremetyevo Airport STK railway line from Savyolovsky direction MZD. The connecting branch will separate from the existing tracks leading to the southern terminal and will run along the border of the Lobnensky forest park, and then along the Sheremetyevskoe highway to the northern terminal complex under construction. Its length will be about 4 km.

September 9, 2016
Moscow region authorities have approved the design of a new runway (Runway-3) international airport Sheremetyevo - the town planning council of the Moscow region has agreed on the documentation for the planning of the territory for the construction of the new runway-3 complex. Now the draft plan will be submitted for approval to the Federal Agency air transport.

Construction of Runway 3 at Sheremetyevo

August 12, 2016
Since August 12, through traffic along the Perepechinskoye Highway, connecting the Leningradskoye Highway with the village of Perepechino through the construction zone of the new runway at Sheremetyevo Airport, has been closed.

July 28, 2016
On July 27, in connection with the construction of the third runway at Sheremetyevo Airport, it was planned to close Perepechinskoye Highway. Part of the road will be dismantled, and the rest will be turned into runways and taxiways. However, the historical event never happened. You can still drive here. But the barrier supports are already being installed. Construction of the third runway and taxiways is in full swing. The Perepechinskoe highway will be closed only when the backup road is ready. This will happen no earlier than August 10, the date is not official and, as practice has already shown, changes are possible.

July 19, 2016
From July 27, 2016, it is planned to block road traffic on Perepechinskoye Highway in order to implement the project “Development of the Moscow Aviation Hub. Construction of a new runway (Runway-3) at Sheremetyevo International Airport, Moscow region,” reports Federal agency air transport. Currently, the Perepechinskoye Highway crosses the future runway, as well as taxiways leading to the existing airfield. To promptly continue large-scale production work at the site, it is necessary to decommission the Perepechinskoye Highway and subsequent dismantling of the highway.

June 6, 2016
The head of the Federal Air Transport Agency Alexander Neradko held a meeting on the construction of the third runway at Sheremetyevo Airport. Alexander Neradko noted that the project contractor Transstroymekhanizatsiya LLC, having started construction just six months ago, set a high pace of work, which, if maintained, will allow the introduction of a third runway for the 2018 World Cup.

Construction site for Runway 3 with the intersection of Perepechinskoye Highway

The meeting participants discussed issues related to the implementation of the project at the current stage. Representatives of Transstroymekhanizatsiya LLC informed about the construction and installation work carried out since the beginning of the year, and also reported on the company’s readiness to significantly expand their scope. All necessary conditions have been created for this: there is the required amount of human resources, construction equipment and materials. However, an increase in construction volumes is complicated by the fact that it has not yet been closed traffic along the Perepechinskoye Highway, which, in fact, bisects the future runway and taxiways leading to the existing airfield. For the speedy deployment of large-scale production work, the highway must be partially decommissioned in the very near future. This issue will be resolved at joint meetings of all stakeholders during the current month.

This could be the case for pilots from all over the world and for local residents new runway-3 at Sheremetyevo airport.

In our country, it seems, there is not a single project that a nasty little official could not ruin. The one who, in general, does not decide anything and, in essence, is not responsible for anything. But with his inarticulate behavior, he is quite capable of bringing everything to a huge scandal. So, in the very near future, Russia may, thanks to the merits of approximately such bureaucrats who are not involved in anything, also create an international scandal - the new runway (runway) at Sheremetyevo Airport threatens to violate all conceivable human norms. After all, it can literally go over the heads of people currently living in its immediate vicinity.

As you know, the new runway should be built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. It is somewhat unique, since with a width of 60 meters and a length of 3200 it will be able to accommodate all types of aircraft. In order to deliver planes there, even a special overpass (the so-called taxiing) will be built over the Sheremetyevskoye Highway. Quite a lot of money was allocated for the construction of Sheremetyevo Runway 3 - 35.5 billion rubles. But when have our officials, and even those managing budget money, met the originally planned cost? So, at the beginning of 2017, the Federal Air Transport Agency, which is the customer for the construction of the runway, essentially requested another 20 billion rubles. The justification for this was inflation, due to which a number of works became significantly more expensive. One has to think that before October 2017, when the strip should start working in test mode, it will become clear more than once that there is not enough money.

The strip runs close to some houses, the ransom and resettlement of people from which the officials, apparently, chose to forget. Of this amount, 2.698 billion rubles were earmarked for the purchase of houses, buildings and structures that fall within the runway-3 construction area. This was determined back in 2011 in the construction project. Judging by the action plan for the construction of the runway, the removal of the residential area from the construction zone should have been carried out back in 2014-2015. This covered 135 land owners. And financing for this should be carried out within the framework of the complex construction project. In total, more than 500 hectares are allocated for the construction area. Thus, at the very first stage, 260 buildings and structures located in three villages - Parshino, Perepechino and Dubrovka - were to be demolished.

And residents were provided with appropriate compensation. In fact, these three villages should have been bought out and completely resettled long ago. In addition, it was necessary to relocate the high-pressure gas pipeline, as well as three lines of the pipeline supplying fuel to the airport that fell into the same area. Well, not to mention such “little things” like the road to the cemetery.

Needless to say, all this has apparently not been done so far, but residents of three villages are still “sitting on their suitcases”, waiting for their fate to be decided? It seems that they are simply being told that there were no funds provided for the purchase of their houses, but demolition was provided for and this money was supposedly specifically for demolition. It turns out that the project was aimed at practically illegal seizure of private property and throwing people out of their homes?

“Over here it will take place runway, - one of the local residents showed me. He refused to give his name in the newspaper, since, apparently, he is still “butting heads” with the Federal Air Transport Agency and its subsidiary FSUE AGAa - the administration of civil airports and (airfields). - And here it continues. Just across my house. And what’s surprising is that today they offer me exactly 2 times less money to buy it back than in 2012. Is this how inflation they have?” This is what you can find out if you trust the story of my interlocutor.

Guerrilla warfare

But watch your hands here. It seems that one of the main arguments for the Federal Air Transport Agency to reduce the price of purchased houses is the fall in their market value. Of course. How much will your house cost, next to which such a grandiose construction project has been underway for several years? Once blessed quiet places near the Klyazma River, where the herons nested, have already been razed to the ground, the entire forest - which is about 500 hectares from the Sheremetyevskoye Highway to Lobnya and Black Mud - has been cut down, and the landscape around is now completely apocalyptic. Periodically, power goes out when cables get in the way of construction equipment. Access roads to houses are damaged and blocked. There is a hum and rumble all day long. That is, the officials of these glorious departments took the path of a well-established guerrilla war, hoping to simply smoke the residents out of their homes. Or maybe they will go somewhere on their own?

The local population that falls under the “distribution” of such projects is usually portrayed as unreasonable and slowing down progress. They say they don’t want to leave. In the situation with Perepechino, Parshino and Dubrovka, exactly the opposite is true. “Yes, finally buy our houses! - Residents beg officials. “We’re tired of living in this hell!” “But there is no money - this is roughly what officials object to. “Wait until the strip is put into operation.” So far, only a few residents whose fences this strip literally ran into have received compensation. And the customers for the construction of the strip, it seems to me, do not notice the rest. Where did the residents of the ill-fated villages turn! To the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, the regional Ministry of Transport, Rospotrebnadzor of the Russian Federation and Moscow Region, FAU Glavgosexpertiza, the Ministry of Economic Development, to the governor and vice-governors of the Moscow region, to the General Prosecutor's Office, the Rostechnadzor Central Administration, the Moscow Region Prosecutor's Office, the Moscow Interregional Transport Prosecutor's Office and to other environmental enterprises and supervisory departments . Residents even initiated a comprehensive inspection of the construction of Runway 3 by several supervisory agencies. During the investigation, violations of design documentation and Russian legislation during the construction of Runway 3 were identified, which formed the basis for a number of lawsuits.

Even the General Prosecutor’s Office established back in 2016 that the “Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Administration of Civil Airports (Aerodromes)”, when carrying out work on the construction of the new runway-3 complex at Sheremetyevo International Airport, was in violation of Art. 52.53 Urban planning complex Russian Federation did not comply with the requirements of the project documentation for the removal of existing utility networks and communications from the construction zone, as well as the dismantling of buildings and structures in residential areas adjacent to the construction of villages.” And in the conclusion of Rostechnadzor it is generally stated directly that “the design documentation of the facility provides for a complex of preparatory work, including: cutting down forests, dismantling existing coatings, removing utility networks and communications from the construction zone, reorganizing rivers, dismantling buildings and structures in residential areas ( According to section 6 of the project for organizing work on the demolition or dismantling of capital construction projects 0301-POD, all buildings and all structures in the villages of Perepechino and Dubrovki are subject to demolition), fencing the construction site for the entire construction period. The project documentation determines that the specified activities must be carried out before the start of work of the first and second stages.”

Sloppiness or sabotage?

But things are still there. It seems that even at public hearings, officials of the Federal Air Transport Agency stubbornly refused to answer the question of when the houses would be purchased. Is this the sloppiness of officials of the Federal Air Transport Agency or outright sabotage aimed at undermining the country’s prestige due to non-compliance with its obligations to FIFA for the 2018 World Cup?! How will the safety of aircraft near residential buildings be ensured? If, for example, residents turn on the park lights, the floodlights and planes will focus on them rather than the runway lights and land in... well, say, a garden or driveway.

But even if we don’t mention all this, it seems to me that there is a blatant disregard for the project documentation and direct instructions from all supervisory structures to eliminate the disgrace, what will residential villages on the runway look like during the World Cup? It will be even cooler than the airport on the island of St. Maarten, where small planes take off right above the beach. There, at least people have somewhere to run, if anything happens. The strip immediately passes close to some houses, the ransom and resettlement of people from which the officials, apparently, chose to forget. Which pilot has the courage to take off and land over people's heads? And what kind of championship is this, for the sake of which the authorities are willing to risk the health and well-being of their population? After all, the runway is not only hellish noise and harmful emissions, for example, benzopyrene, which openly provokes cancer. Not to mention the host of other unpleasant consequences for people’s lives from proximity to taking off planes.

Even the same navigation system is the most harmful radiation. By the way, the location of the strip itself among houses is also extremely dangerous - with any crosswind, the point of no return, after which there is no longer any possibility of turning around, will be especially close. All this is unlikely to be missed by our ideological “well-wishers” in the West. Therefore, be prepared, if not for the disruption of the championship itself, then for a major political scandal.
