The aircraft designer for the Tupolev Design Bureau Valentin Bliznyuk, who led the work on the creation of the supersonic strategic bomber Tu-160, passed away at 92 years old “after a serious and prolonged illness” on December 30, 2019.

The former had announced its intention to divest after the French state chose to keep a minority share of 10% in the airport.
