To create a strong airport for Ukraine’s southeast, Dnipropetrovsk politicians back a $35 million line item in the 2019 budget to start construction of Dnipro Regional Airport, serving Dnipro and Zaporizhzhya. Tentatively called Pridniprovia, the airport would be built roughly midway between the two cities, on the right bank of the Dnipro River, in Solone, Dnipropetrovsk region. A merger of the two city’s existing airports, could create Ukraine’s sixth busiest airport, using as a guide last year’s combined traffic of 625,400 passengers.
