The Dnipro international airport (Dnipro) in January-August 2019 saw an 11.7% rise in passenger traffic year-over-year, to 223,800 people.
According to the airport website, in August 2019, passenger traffic amounted to 35,900 people, which is 12.9% more than the August figure of last year.
As reported, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky during a working trip to Dnipropetrovsk region on July 12 promised that the issue of reconstruction of the airport will be resolved in Dnipro. “We will do and help you. There will be funds, because we understand what an airport means for a city with population of one million people,” the head of state said.
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine in June 2019 allocated UAH 200 million for the reconstruction of the runway of the Dnipro International Airport.
The Dnipro International Airport (formerly Dnipropetrovsk) has been operating since 1943. It became an independent enterprise only in 2011. It is located 5 km southeast of Dnipro city.
