Novaport airport holding is seeking to control six more regional airports, CEO Mikhail Smirnov told RBC Daily.
The company, which holds stakes in six airports, will participate in tenders to buy government stakes in Novosibirsk and Astrakhan airports, where it is already a stakeholder. To finance its new acquisitions, the company is considering issuing debt next year and is currently looking for a strategic partner willing to buy a 25 percent stake.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
