Boryspil Airport is ready to resume receiving and dispatching passenger aircraft within a month after Ukraine's airspace is reopened. However, the necessary permits will also need to be obtained, states Boryspil Airport CEO Oleksii Dubrevskyi during the Global Outlook: Enduring Change conference, organized by the European Business Association.
"As of today, our airport's readiness level is approximately one month to launch flights from Boryspil Airport once such a decision (the reopening of airspace – ed.) is made," he said.
The airport's CEO added that airline operators are ready to resume flights to Ukraine within a short timeframe.
"They already know where to get crews and additional aircraft to ensure flight operations," Dubrevskyi commented.
According to him, airlines will be able to prepare aircraft for flights to Ukraine within a month.
He also noted that Boryspil Airport can handle a passenger flow of 20 million people per year.
Ryanair may return to Ukraine
Earlier, Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary stated that his company is developing plans to resume flights to Ukraine within weeks after the war ends.
This comes as former US President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed his intention to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
