Residents and authorities of Dnipro, home to Ukraine’s worst performing major airport, appeal to the Cabinet of Ministers to includ in the 2019 budget money to rebuild Dnipro’s runway. Alexander Yaroslavsky, the Kharkiv magnate who invested $107 million to rebuild his home city airport terminal, promises to invest about $65 million to rebuild Dnipro’s terminal. Rebuilding a landing strip is the responsibility of the government. Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan, who is overseeing rebuilding of the Odesa airport airstrip, has described the Dnipro strip as “in a terrible state.” Last year, passenger traffic at Dnipro fell by 3%. Traffic at the nine other airports of Ukraine’s top 10 increased by double digits.
