Kherson International Airport to receive first flight after reconstruction in early 2022
Kherson International Airport, where reconstruction of a runway started this year, will receive its first flight in March 2022.
According to Kherson Regional State Administration with reference to first deputy director of Kherson International Airport Anatoliy Tkach, currently the construction readiness of the facility is already 95%.
Reconstruction of the runway at the airport is part of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Great Construction program.
Now the airport is completing reconstruction of the runway, in the near future the installation of modern lighting and navigation equipment will begin, which will allow aircraft to land in difficult weather conditions.
Repair of the fence around the airport will begin next year. In addition, a waiting room on the second floor of the airport terminal, which had not been used before, will be reconstructed. A tender for these works with an expected cost of UAH 23 million has already been announced.
According to Tkach, before the start of reconstruction, the airport received four to five flights daily. After reconstruction, it will be able to increase the capacity to 10-15 flights, including high-capacity aircraft of the 4D category.
“Due to this, the passenger traffic will increase to 500,000 passengers per year, and the airport will be able to open new air routes. Representatives of the airport are already negotiating this issue with domestic and international airlines,” the statement says.
The runway of Kherson airport has been in operation since 1985 and during this time it has never been overhauled.
As reported, earlier it was planned to complete work and resume flight services by the end of 2021.

Ukraine should use EU Association Agreement to defend its rights in Europe – opinion.
The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine considers it necessary to defend the rights of Ukraine, including by using the possibilities of the Association Agreement with the EU.
“We need to start using the Agreement with the EU as our opportunity to defend our rights in the European market. We signed the agreement not to be guilty all the time, but in order to get the right to enter the markets, to have equal rights with all European countries,” Deputy Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Mustafa-Masi Nayyem said during the Great Construction: Roads and Bridges forum in Kyiv on Friday.
According to him, the Association Agreement allows it to be revised in five years, as well as to sign additional agreements and protocols.
“In particular, Article 136 says that we can sign an additional agreement that will allow us to move to the transit liberalization. So that the countries with which we border cannot prohibit the delivery of our products to other EU countries. Yes, there can be a two-way relationship. But Poland, Hungary or Slovakia, for example, cannot prohibit us from delivering our products to Germany,” Nayyem said.
According to him, such actions by the EU countries are an artificial trade barrier and discrimination against Ukrainian carriers.
As reported, Ukraine plans to go to arbitration if Poland refuses to resolve the situation with the reduction of international haulage permits by the Polish side.
