On Sept 2, Zaporizhia airport closes to all flights for the resurfacing of its cement runway and asphalt aprons. In contrast to Odesa, this work is to be completed in six weeks for $12 million. This is part of a $45 airport renovation that includes a new steel and glass terminal capable of handling 1 million passengers a year. Through July, traffic was up 27% to 280,000 passengers. Two weeks ago, President Zelenskiy toured the airport, and authorities assured him that the terminal will open on schedule, in December.
