Prime Minister Shmygal promised last week to modernize Kherson Airport’s 50-year-old runway. “Kherson International Airport is a strategic infrastructure facility in the region and has significant potential to increase the number of flights and passenger traffic,” the Prime Minister said, accompanied by Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krykliy. The largest airport between Odesa and Zaporizhia, Kherson handled 150,000 passengers last year and was served by four airlines – Ryanair, SkyUp, Turkish and UIA. The airport is a 2-hour drive from the line of control with Crimea. Due to international sanctions, the 2.3 million residents of Crimea can fly only to Russia.
