Offering a boost to Ukrainian Danube tourism, work starts this year to rebuild and reopen Izmail airport, the second airport for Odesa Region, Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krikliy said recently. Located midway between Kyiv and Istanbul – 490 km each way– the airport is to be prepared to receive flights from both cities. Last summer, work started on rebuilding the terminal and its international passport control point. To receive more than daytime flights from turboprops, the runway needs to be extended by 500 meters and modern navigational aids have to be installed.
