Through September, Kyiv Boryspil’s passenger traffic is down by two thirds

Through September, Kyiv Boryspil’s passenger traffic is down by two thirds, to 4 million passengers. At this rate, Ukraine’s busiest airport may finish this year at the level of 2006, when it handled 4.6 million passengers. “The high season of 2020 for the aviation industry is over,” Boryspil general director Pavel Ryabikin told the Center for Transportation Strategies. “The hub model has become unrealistic: we will be missing about 3 million transfer passengers. Quarantine restrictions of countries continue to be a stop factor for passengers.”
