PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PETER THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT VORONEZH WITHIN CRISIS RESOLUTION ENVIRONMENT
The object of the study is Peter the First International Airport Voronezh, as the leading regional airport of the Central Federal District. A structural feature of the regional airports of the Central Federal District is low passenger traffic and the underdeveloped route network. International Airport Voronezh demonstrates high rates of growth and development, expands cooperation with Russian and foreign airlines, increases the number of destinations in the structure of the route network. The airport is an important element of the regional transport infrastructure, passengers of the airport are residents of the city Voronezh, Voronezh Oblast and neighboring Oblasts. Analysis of statistical data (passenger traffic in 2014-2019) allowed making a conclusion that regional air transportation is in demand in Voronezh Oblast (an increase by more than 100% over 5 years). A comparative analysis of the route network of the largest regional airports in Volgograd and Rostov-on-Don allowed identifing the most promising areas of development of the route network of International Airport Voronezh. The result of study was the construction of a model for the prospective development of new directions in the structure of the route network of International Airport Voronezh. The airport plans to expand its GDP and modernize its passenger terminal. Aimed at increasing capacity, the airport will increase passenger traffic in the context of the development of new directions of budget and regional, Russian and foreign airlines. An increase in the number of directions in the structure of the route network of International Airport Voronezh contributes to an increase in passenger traffic of the airport, as well as to an increase in the tourist flow of the region. An increase in the tourist flow of the region will have a positive impact on the activities of welcoming culture enterprises (transport companies, hotels, restaurants, etc.), a significant proportion of which are small and medium-sized businesses.
