Platov International Airport (Russian: Международный аэропорт Платов) is an airport nearing completion and opening close to the stanitsa of Grushevskaya, Aksaysky District, Russia near the city of Novocherkassk northeast of Rostov-on-Don. It will serve Rostov-on-Don and is scheduled to start operation in Summer 2017. It is named after Matvei Platov.
It was originally planned that the airport would open in November 2017, with passenger navigation starting on 1 December 2017. The project has a capacity of 5 million passengers per year. Azimuth will be the main company serving the airport. In October 2017 a six week trial of test flights to test aircraft movement handling as well as handling of passengers and baggage will take place as part of final certification before the airport opens in December 2017.
At the end of September, the airport construction was finished. Then, 16 October, Rosaviation had approved the new airport and the airport plans to commence the testing procedure till 20 November. After all the stages are done, the airport plans to fully open 1 December. The old airport will close, due to development issues, caused by the location inside town. More likely, the building will be demolished
