Chernivtsi is Ukraine’s latest fast growing regional airport to attract development plans. With the draw of a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the Hapsburg-era National University – Chernivtsi is seeing its traffic grow by 50% this year, to 75,000 passengers. UIA, which has the sole scheduled flight, last year doubled the size of its aircraft on the daily route from Kyiv, to a 100-seat Embraer 100. Now, Infrastructure Minister official Yuri Gusev writes on Facebook, the government plans to work with consultants from the World Bank’s International Finance Corporation to draw up a public private partnership plan to rebuild the 85-year-old terminal, built when the region was part of Romania.
