The structures of Viktor Vekselberg’s Renova Group will get control over an airport in Rostov-on- Don, informs The Kommersant.
Recently the government of Russia has given 50.6% of the airport shares to the regional authorities.
According to The Kommersant, later these shares will be given to the company Rostovairoinvest, whose 75% of shares are controlled by the structure OJSC Koltsovo-Invest, which is a part of the Renova Group.
