Many conference attendees will reach Mariupol by flying from Kyiv to Zaporizhia, an airport that aspires to be the hub for Ukraine’s southeast. In time for the conference, the airport plans to complete a $40 million rebuild – a renovated runway and a new steel and glass terminal. Already the busiest airport in the region, Zaporizhia saw its passengers increase by 28% y-o-y through August, to 330,000. UIA and Motor Sich have flights from Kyiv. On Oct. 28, the day before the Mariupol conference, SkyUp starts service from Kyiv Boryspil to Zaporizhia.
