KYIV. July 22 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Boryspil International Airport (Kyiv) could triple its net profit in January-June 2016 compared to the same period of 2015.

An Interfax-Ukraine correspondent has reported that acting Director Yevhen Dykhne gave the information at a press conference at the airport on Thursday.

“According to the preliminary calculations we expect that we will see a triple rise in profit in H1 2016 compared to H1 2015,” he said.

Dykhne said that the final results will be announced after July 25.

According to a financial report of the airport for Q1 2015, net profit under Ukrainian accounting standards was UAH 214.47 million. Thus, net profit of the airport in H1 2016 would be almost UAH 650 million.
