Kyiv Sikorsky International Airport currently focuses on the development of the cargo direction, according to the company’s website with reference to the head of the airport board of directors, Denys Kostrzhevsky, said.
“Now we are focused on the development of the cargo direction and see a significant potential. And for this, it is necessary to build high-quality infrastructure at the airport – freight warehouses, customs warehouses, to establish logistics chains. This is one of our strategic goals,” Kostrzhevsky is quoted as saying.
He noted that the market of passenger and freight traffic in Ukraine will develop at an outstripping pace, since the state has a colossal transit potential.
He also said that at the moment there is another investment direction related to the expansion of the range of ground services and the construction of hangars.
“Hangar storage of aircraft is a relevant service, especially when it comes to small aircraft, which are expensive and, in fact, must be stored in the garage. We put a Mercedes, which costs $100,000, in the garage, while we keep an aircraft for $20 million for some reason under the open sky. And now this service is in great demand on the market,” he said.

Ukraine is preparing for any scenario of the development of events associated with an artificially created migration crisis on the border with Belarus, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk has said.
“We in Ukraine are preparing for any scenario of the development of events. Now there is no influx of migrants to the borders of our state. At the same time, we see that the tactics of actions related to illegal migration from Belarus to the EU countries are ambiguous, every day something changes in it,” Stefanchuk said at the 11 session of the Interparliamentary Assembly of the Verkhovna Rada, the Seimas of Lithuania and the Senate of Poland in Warsaw on Monday.
He said that Ukraine is strengthening the border with Belarus and constantly consults at the ministerial level with the Polish and Lithuanian sides.
“The Ukrainian side takes extremely seriously the situation on the EU border with Poland and Belarus. Today we are in complete solidarity with the Polish side: the migration crisis is artificially created by Russia and Belarus. What is happening on the EU’s eastern border is a challenge not only to our countries, but also a challenge to the entire civilized world. We are talking, among other things, about checking the ability of the EU and NATO to be consolidated in confronting modern challenges and threats,” Stefanchuk said.
According to him, Russia’s absorption of Belarus and its transformation into another Russian military base on the borders with the EU and NATO poses an immediate threat not only for Ukraine, but for the entire region.
