Igor Sikorsky Kyiv International Airport

Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Airport (formerly Zhuliany airport) is an international airport located 7km away from Ukraine’s capital city, Kiev. It is one of the two major airports in the city and is Ukraine’s second biggest in terms of passenger traffic and number of flights.

Owned by the city of Kiev, the airport is operated by Master-Avia.

Domestic Terminal D at the airport was reopened in March 2017. Terminal D, along with the other terminals, will enable the airport to accommodate up to two million passengers a year.

Details of Terminal D at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv airport

The reopened Terminal D is located close to Terminal A and exclusively serves domestic passengers. The new terminal features 12 check-in counters and other passenger facilities.

First opened in 2013, the terminal was built to serve the increasing number of passengers and new airlines.

However, operations at the terminal ceased a year later as a result of reduced passenger flow and drop in the number of flights due to decreased aviation activity in Ukraine.

The reopened terminal will serve passengers travelling in the state, while reducing the burden on Terminal A, which used to handle both domestic and international flights.
