TNK-BP Holding, the traded unit of BP's Russian oil venture with a group of billionaires, is set to acquire the Koltsovo Airport fueling complex for about $100 million from one of the venture's shareholders.
TNK-BP's board voted in favor of buying the Koltsovo fueling unit for $30 million and the Aktiv unit for about $70 million, with a possible adjustment for debt, from Koltsovo Airport in Yekaterinburg, the Moscow-based company said in a regulatory filing Monday.
Viktor Vekselberg's Renova Group controls Koltsovo Airport as well as his stake in TNK-BP.

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.
