This winter, Lviv airport may save money by not plowing snow from its 3.3 m runway at night

This winter, Lviv airport may save money by not plowing snow from its 3.3 m runway at night, Tatiana Romanovskaya, airport director general, tells Avianews. “Since no night flights are planned, significant resources can be saved by not working during this time and not constantly clearing the strip,” she said. Emerging from quarantine, the airport offered 50% discounts on airport services to returning airlines. With traffic down by ‘only’ 58% through September, to 703,000, Lviv has displaced Kyiv Sikorsky as Ukraine’s second busiest airport. Lviv aims to finish this year with 1 million passengers, the level of 2017. Next year, Romanovskaya hopes to handle 1.5 million passengers, almost the volume of 2018.
