Ukraine’s only operating airport, Kyiv Boryspil, is operating at 5% of capacity

Ukraine’s only operating airport, Kyiv Boryspil, is operating at 5% of capacity, Pavlo Ryabkin, the airport’s general director tells Ekonomichna Pravda. “There are no scheduled flights, only special, humanitarian and freight flights,” he says. “On a good day there are up to 20 of them — at the same time last year there were 350.” Of his workforce of 4,500, 90% have been put on leave at 2/3 pay. Looking ahead, he said: “It will take two to three years to resuscitate the industry to the volumes that were at the end of last year.”
