The new Platov Airport in Rostov-on-Don, built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, began receiving and sending regular and charter flights.

The first plane landed at Platov airport on Thursday at 11:00 Moscow time. It was flight of Pobeda Airlines, a Russian low-cost airline from the Moscow airport Vnukovo.

The new airport, Platov, received its certification on December 1 and since then it has been operating parallel with the old one. The old airfield, which was assigned IATA code RVI on November 27, will officially close to all traffic as of March 1, 2018.

The construction of the new airport was necessitated by the higher passenger demand that cannot be handled by the old one. The current airport is located just 8 kilometers from the city center while Platov is more than 30 kilometers to the north of the city. The new airfield will be able to handle 5 million passengers annually, which is twice as much as the current capacity of the old airport.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
