Lviv plans to increase air passenger traffic by 38% this year, to 2.2 million people, airport director Tatiana Romanovskaya tells reporters in Kyiv. After boosting traffic by 48% last year, Romanovskaya says she now is negotiating new flights with Qatar Airways, UIA, an Asian airline, and a European discount airline. By June, Ukraine’s busiest regional airport will have flights to 33 cities, including three new ones: Wizz Air to Copenhagen on March 3; airBaltic to Riga on April 1 and SkyUp to Odesa on June 2. The airport is undergoing a $10 million upgrade this year.
