KYIV. May 12 (Interfax-Ukraine) – State-owned enterprise Boryspil International Airport has designed the air ticket cheapening program thanks to discounts to airport charges.
Commercial Director of the airport Maksym Voloshyn said at a press conference on Thursday that the discount system aims at cheapening flights, expanding the route network, increasing the share of transit passengers, boosting transportation and airport’s income and attracting low cost airlines. It is planned to set a discount for new international flights to the take-off and landing fee in the first year in the amount of 80%, second year – 60%, third year – 40% and fourth year – 20%. In addition, the 80% discount is proposed for a transit passenger.
Voloshyn said that the discount to the passenger fee will apply proportionally to growth of passenger flow from 100,000 people.
Boryspil Airport Director General Pavlo Riabikin said that the airport has prepared a new public offer for airlines. He said that one of its requirements will be obligatory display of the discount provided by the airport in the ultimate price of the ticket.
“The Infrastructure Ministry has drawn up a project foreseeing the reduction of charges. We have made our homework,” he said.
Boryspil International Airport is the main airport of Ukraine. The airport has two runways: one with a length of 4,000 meters and a width of 60 meters, and the second with a length of 3,500 meters and a width of 63 meters. Four passenger terminals, postal and cargo complexes are located on the territory of the airport.
