The Boryspil airport is planned to be the first to open in Ukraine as soon as the appropriate conditions are met, according to Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Sybiha, according to the press service of the Presidential Office.
According to the Office of the President, during a meeting with representatives of the diplomatic corps, Sybiha revealed that the Boryspil airport was the first facility closed due to Russia's war against Ukraine, but it will be the first one to reopen.
As the Deputy Head of the Office of the President assured, they want to open the airport "as soon as the security situation allows."
Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak, during a meeting with ambassadors, also expressed confidence that Boryspil will soon be receiving and dispatching aircraft.
"This return to normalcy is possible because Ukraine has become stronger. Now we can ensure the security of this facility, thanks to our defense forces and our friends - your countries. And I am confident: the symbolic boarding passes you received at the entrance will soon become real," he added.
According to the general director of the Boryspil airport, Oleksiy Dubrevsky, the facility is ready to start accepting planes a month after the end of the war. He made this statement back in October of this year.
