TASS reports.

Putin suggested that the HSR project would “kill the planes right away,” as it would compete with the airport for passengers.

At the same time, Nikitin is of the opinion that the Nizhny Novgorod airport, on the contrary, will receive an advantage and will be able to enter the system of airports of the Moscow agglomeration in the event of the launch of the high-speed railway.

“The question, we hope, will be resolved regarding the high-speed highway Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod.

It was a very big job.

Our investor believes that this is beneficial because Nizhny Novgorod can become another airport in Moscow.

It will be possible to get from the center to the center in an hour forty, ”Nikitin said.

Earlier it became known about the arrival of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Nizhny Novgorod.

The head of state will take part in the celebration of the 800th anniversary of the city.
