(L-R) Sergiy Khyzhnyak and Mantas Vrubliauskas Spain—Kyiv-Boryspil Airport director of commercial and strategy Sergiy Khyzhnyak said the airport is poised to resume operations within a month of it being safe to do so Khyzhnyak said restarting operations after three years of airspace closure—and two years of pandemic before that—will take “a lot of work.” However the airport has been kept in a state of readiness for when that window of opportunity comes “I think the main challenge we have is uncertainty,” Khyzhnyak told Routes delegates during an April 8 panel session “We did not know how long we had to prepare our resilience plan for which were designed to last a couple of weeks have now obviously transformed into a long-term resilience plan.” even for business-as-usual ground handling operations Kyiv-Boryspil is attending Routes Europe to maintain contact with its airline partners it’s about safety and the airline is responsible,” Khyzhnyak said “We have an internal deadline to be ready within one month [notice period] for the full proper operations of scheduled flights.” Airport staff have been retained on reduced salaries Qualifications have been kept current and a fifth of the team are on rotation at the airport at any given time Latvian carrier airBaltic has voiced its desire to be one of the first airlines back into Ukraine, and airBaltic VP network development Mantas Vrubliauskas was a fellow panelist at the Routes Europe event Vrubliauskas has visited Kyiv twice in the past two years “There’s no physical sign of any damage It’s just sad that there’s not a single passenger in that terminal.” downtown Kyiv itself was “like a normal city,” with people socializing in cafes and restaurants “Life is happening there,” Vrubliauskas said Our hope is that we can start flying as soon as possible.” and people were traveling to Europe for vacations “They have 30 million border crossings each year meaning that demand already is there,” he said and the need for travel in Ukraine is also really An audience member quizzed Vrubliauskas for more details of airBaltic’s Ukraine strategy I don’t want to share all the details “We know what we want to do on Day One what we want to do after perhaps a few months.”   AirBaltic will begin by resuming links to “at least” the Baltic countries with Kyiv and Lviv “It’s going to be more than one route,” he said “Let’s put it this way.” Kyiv is hoping to use Ukraine’s worldwide news exposure to attract new leisure visitors as well as a strong airline mix to generate inbound and outbound passengers “It’s important to have a balanced supply in terms of airlines,” Khyzhnyak said “We do not want to become a low-cost airport.” Victoria Moores joined Air Transport World as our London-based European Editor/Bureau Chief on 18 June 2012 Victoria has nearly 20 years’ aviation industry experience Get the latest news, information and analysis from Routes Europe 2025 The region's premier network development conference takes place in Seville insight and analysis from our award-winning editors delivered to your inbox daily We joke that we are probably the first airport in Europe to meet net zero emissions – although not quite in the way we would like,” said Sergiy Khyzhnyak director of commercial and strategy at Kyiv Boryspil Airport But the country’s aviation industry must plan for the future – and maintaining operational continuity is crucial in the event that Ukrainian airspace reopens airports must be ready to support the repatriation of 6.5 million refugees in Europe and Ukraine’s economic recovery The challenge the aviation industry faces is a magnificent one But “we remain optimistic,” said Khyzhnyak Political developments – such as US president Trump’s interventions in recent months and Putin’s declaration of a brief Easter ceasefire – are monitored closely by those behind the scenes keeping airports operational even if their terminals resemble ghost towns “We observe all the political changes and all the processes which happen but they [political decisions] have a huge influence on us,” Khyzhnyak told Airline Routes & Ground Services there will be this chain of events where political decisions are taken then military activity stops and after that the civil aviation authority will do a risk assessment If they decide it is sufficiently safe to resume civil aviation flights then that will be our sign that we can restart operations.” Kyiv Boryspil’s traffic figures from the last 25 years show the airport generally recovers every two to three years following a major crisis “We believe this will be the case this time as well that our market will recover quickly after the resumption of flights.” Kyiv Boryspil handled 9.5 million passengers and 52,000 tonnes of air cargo (accounting for 80% of all goods arriving and departing Ukraine) in 2021 it hosted more than 40 airlines flying to over 120 destinations But recommencing commercial operations is more complicated than restoring the airport’s pre-war network The most important factor for Kyiv Boryspil Airport is ensuring that its infrastructure is capable of once again supporting civil aviation In any event of resuming commercial flights the airport’s ecosystem – which includes all the parties involved in its operation – must be ready “Our airport infrastructure is intact and fully operational,” said Khyzhnyak “We [have kept] it operational for three years to make sure that we are ready to handle [flights]… Just because there are no passengers “We have a person who every week comes and flushes each toilet These are the sorts of small jobs that have to be done and we have strict maintenance schedules we have to follow even if [we have no passengers].” On the airport’s readiness to recommence flights to start pretty much ‘business as usual’ operations or to handle scheduled commercial flights We believe the demand will come immediately after the sky is safe for civil aviation flights.” He said the airport’s “overall plan is [to] start small and grow quickly” Kyiv Boryspil is planning for full-scale capacity after the first three months of operations resuming Khyzhnyak said the airport is talking to a number of airlines as well as cargo carriers about returning to Kyiv He believes immediate demand will come from the repatriation of refugees across Europe as well as Ukrainians seeking “back-and-forth” travel “Because there are 6.5 million Ukrainians seeking protection abroad… we talk to airlines who might satisfy this demand,” said Khyzhnyak [we are] maintaining relationships with our base carriers because before the war around 70% of traffic was done by local airlines “We talk to classic network carriers like Lufthansa Group British Airways and so on because we also need to connect Ukraine to long distance markets such as North America and Asia because we believe this will be an important segment to support during the recovery of Ukraine.” Despite anticipating strong post-war demand Khyzhnyak told ARGS that Kyiv Boryspil “does not have a crystal ball” adding that “between two years of Covid and three years of war we now have a completely different” economic situation “Our population lives in completely different places to where they used to live and this all will probably change a lot [post-war].” The airport projects strong inbound tourism in peacetime which Khyzhnyak said could help fuel Ukraine’s recovery Odessa are beautiful cities for a long weekend for their architecture I think Ukraine might become a new gem and a new tourism destination in Europe post-war.” Your registration will include editorial emails and offers from EVA International By creating an account, I agree to the terms of service, and

possibility that flights to one of these airports could resume by the end of January 2025 situated in western Ukraine close to the Polish border has been relatively unaffected by military conflicts making it a strong candidate for resuming operations READ: ANTONOV Airlines: A soaring Ukrainian titan Its proximity to European trade routes also bolsters its strategic importance as a logistics hub the country’s largest and most significant aviation hub President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed his preference for reopening Boryspil reflecting its vital role in facilitating international air travel and economic revitalisation Deputy Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine Tymur Tkachenko talked about the role of airports in regional recovery: “Airports are critical not only as transport hubs but as drivers of regional economic recovery The potential reopening of selected facilities aligns with our broader strategy for community and territorial development.” The decision to reopen these airports involves careful assessment of safety risks and collaboration with international aviation authorities to ensure compliance with global standards The Ukrainian government is actively engaging with stakeholders to develop a phased approach to resuming air travel aiming to balance economic revitalisation with the paramount need for safety and security Head of the State Aviation Service of Ukraine addressed the technical and regulatory challenges tied to reopening airports under the current circumstances “We are carefully assessing the safety protocols and potential operational capacity of each facility under consideration,” Bilchuk said “Our primary concern remains the safety of passengers and staff as well as adherence to international aviation standards.” Bilchuk also highlighted the collaborative approach between aviation authorities and local governments ensuring any decisions made align with both national security considerations and regional economic priorities Strategic factors and timelines The potential reopening of Ukrainian airports has stirred significant interest particularly following reports earlier this month about possible government plans to reactivate the aviation sector amid the ongoing challenges posed by the war official responses from the key Ukrainian government to Air Cargo Week bodies shed light on the complexity and caution guiding these deliberations Tkachenko emphasised that the restoration of airport operations could support economic revitalisation in affected regions attracting investment and reconnecting communities to global networks He stressed the importance of collaboration between governmental and private sectors to ensure the feasibility and sustainability of such initiatives www.aircargoweek.com While no definitive timeline has been established preliminary studies are underway to determine which airports might reopen and under what conditions Discussions are focusing on facilities that could serve dual purposes: as logistics hubs to aid in ongoing humanitarian efforts and as commercial gateways to revitalise trade and tourism Deputy Minister Tkachenko stressed that this is not just a matter of technical readiness but also a strategic economic decision: “Each airport represents a node in a larger network Decisions must account for their regional impact and potential to integrate into Ukraine’s long-term recovery plans,” he said Both officials acknowledged significant challenges and the necessity of extensive repair work in some cases While international partnerships and investments are being sought there remains an understanding that reopening airports in a conflict-impacted region will require innovative approaches and

Dominic CulverwellMore than two years since Ukraine shut down its airports after the start of the full-scale invasion even as Russia continues to launch drones and missiles across the country Just this week, Ukraine’s infrastructure minister confirmed that the government was in talks with American and European safety regulators to reopen Ukraine’s airspace Plans of resuming passenger flights have been in the air in recent months. In late February, Presidential Office Head Andriy Yermak announced that Ukraine was working on “restoring operations at one of the country's airports once security issues are addressed.” The government is tight-lipped about which airport exactly will be the first to open and when But three airports have circulated in conversations: the western Lviv and Uzhhorod airports and Kyiv’s Boryspil airport Resuming flights would save people traveling to and from Ukraine hours of travel as the current trip from Kyiv to the nearest airport in a western neighboring country can take over 20 hours It could also bolster Ukraine’s economic development at a time it desperately needs it While Ukraine can make the sovereign decision to open its airspace the country will have to meet strict requirements set by international aviation bodies and have the backing of insurers before flights can take off The country will also undoubtedly need more air defenses to protect planes both on the ground and in the air While exact plans around what is currently being prepared aren’t public knowledge Ukrainian officials have met with Israel’s Civil Aviation Administration (CAAI) whose measures to keep the airspace open include air defenses planes carrying extra fuel in case the aircraft needs to stay in the air longer Federal Aviation Administration) which is not an easy case And it depends more on the bold decisions of international partners that we believe we'll get," Shurma said acknowledged the need for flights but said it was difficult to “understand how it is possible to conduct flights at all in a state of war,” during the national 24/7 newscast on July 28 The memory of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17, which was shot down by Russian forces in Donetsk Oblast on July 17 also continues to imbue the minds of Ukrainians One option being considered to reduce the risks of attacks on aircraft is only allowing civilian flights rather than cargo planes a source familiar with the matter told the Kyiv Independent That way Moscow cannot target a plane with any legitimacy Israel’s CAAI is adept at calculating risks while relying on the military’s air defense systems to intercept Hamas’ missiles Civilian and military air traffic controllers communicate in a shared room while firefighters and ambulances stand by It’s more dangerous on the ground than in the air Director of Aviation Infrastructure Division at the CAAI Moti Shmueli told the Kyiv Independent The CAAI has reduced the number of planes on the ground at any one time and has cut refueling and cleaning times from 90 minutes to 60 minutes Smoke is seen above buildings close to the airport in Lviv Lviv's mayor said on Telegram that the airport was not hit (Getty Images)A Ukrainian soldier walks past a destroyed building of the International Airport of Kherson in the recently liberated village of Chornobaivka (Ihor Tkachov/AFP via Getty Images)Crucially Shmueli stresses that international pilots and crew don’t have to go through additional training to fly into a conflict zone The emphasis is on the CAAI to manage the situation and win the trust of international airlines and captains “We publish and brief everyone who is involved in this operation and let them know that we take the responsibility and are managing the situation,” he said  While many airlines held off from flying to Israel following the Hamas attack on Oct Shmueli chalks this up to CAAI’s open communication and constant risk management He sees Ukraine applying the same level of diligence writing and getting procedures and managing the risks and calculating the risks,” he said Shmueli acknowledges that it’s not a one size fits all scenario against an enemy with advanced weaponry and equipment Not everything Israel can teach Ukraine will be applicable Marsh McLennan said a similar blueprint could be used for an air corridor but did not disclose further details to the Kyiv Independent Ukraine’s aviation market showed impressive growth compared to the EU recovering at twice the rate from the Covid-19 pandemic according to the Airports Council International (ACI).Reopening airports will be a crucial step for Ukraine’s economic development both during and after the war “With that comes more exchange, more people traveling. It might also play a role in preparing for the attraction of inward investment again. I think the symbolic impact on the economy should not be underestimated.”But while money has been pumped into Ukraine’s transport infrastructure like railways and roads airports have not received the same level of attention since the start of the full-scale war Russian attacks have damaged 18 Ukrainian airports and the reconstruction amounts to $1.6 billion over the next 10 years Surviving airports have received some support to help maintain operations and pay salaries But they mostly rely on their own reserves which are rapidly burning out “It's a bit inconsistent if this is a very high political priority for Ukraine and work is being done you need to make sure that the airports will be fully operational to accommodate those flights,” he said he sees that Ukraine is making positive steps and believes that the country has the capability to meet safety requirements set by aviation bodies to open its airspace “It's feasible under certain conditions Cooperation with the military is essential.” Dominic is the business reporter for the Kyiv Independent He has written for a number of publications including the Financial Times Dominic worked with StopFake as a disinformation expert That’s according to the Ministry of Infrastructure the rating has been formed annually by the UK-based Skytrax consultancy Winners are determined through a global survey of airport customers Travelers from more than 100 countries took part in the 2020-2021 survey,” the statement reads the region’s best airport is that in Budapest while the Tallinn airport completes the TOP 3 Boryspil International (KBP) overtook the airports in Tbilisi The World Airport Awards set quality standards for the global industry assessing the level of customer service at more than 500 airports around the globe The survey and award process is fully funded by Skytrax A pilot project of the Ministry of Infrastructure is being implemented at Boryspil International Airport within the framework of the National Barrier-Free Strategy.
