Ilsur Metshin: "The new flight from Kazan to Europe will attract investors and tourists"

(City KZN.RU, June 20). New regular direct flight to Frankfurt from Kazan is opened. This important event in the life of the city transport will not only be helpful for the upcoming major events - World Cup 2018 and World Cup finals «WorldSkills Competition» in 2019 - but also will attract major new investors to the capital of Tatarstan. Such an opinion was expressed by the Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin at the last Business Monday today.

The new "window to Europe" will increase the comfort of the participants and guests of the upcoming major events to be held in Kazan, and will play a crucial role in the formation of tourist traffic, the Mayor said. "For us each new transport line is a new flow of tourists, businessmen and the new number of active investors in our city, - I. Metshin said. - The richer investor and businessman is, more lazy he is in terms of traffic, so if there is no direct flight, it is not unlikely for him to fly in this direction. But such large hubs provide very different opportunities, different investment background. I want to thank the President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, our Government, who personally took part in the agreement. We hope that the flight will be successful, it is very important for us".

Recall, "Aeroflot" airline opened a new direct flight Kazan – Frankfurt last week. Flights are carried out 2 times a week: on Mondays and Fridays, plane «Airbus A320» will serve the flight.
