Ural Airlines and Vozrozhdeniye Yekaterinburg Ltd. are going to sign an agreement regarding the construction of a group of buildings for the carrier on November 16, 2007. The event is to be attended by Governor of Sverdlovsk Region Eduard Rossel, the airline’s press officer reports.

The agenda of the agreement-signing ceremony provides for a presentation of a miniature model of the future building that is expected to become the airline’s headquarters, complete with rooms for aircraft personnel, flight attendants, and the in-flight medical board, a conference room, Sales and Finance Departments, and so on.

The total area of the building (to be located next to Koltsovo airport) will come to 7,500 square meters. The whole construction project is part of preparations for the upcoming Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit. The project is estimated to require more than $10m worth of investments and is supposed to be finished in April 2009.
