- The opening of the airport "Platov" claims to be, perhaps, not even the event of the year. This is a turning point in the development of the region and its capital.

According to the participants of the business reception, the development of the airport and the adjacent territory open prospects for the regional and federal business community. The technological advantage and the developing transport and logistics infrastructure will be a decisive factor for the formation of one of the country's largest transport hubs on Don.
