history

Old terminal

The construction of the old terminal in the style of Socialist Classicism began in 1951. The opening took place together with the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the unification of Ukraine and Russia in 1954. In 1958, a trolleybus line was built from the airport to the city center.

In preparation for the 2012 European Football Championship , which Kharkiv hosted, the airport was completely renovated and a new terminal was built so that aircraft the size of an Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 can now take off and land.

Passenger numbers

The number of passengers has increased tenfold over the past decade. There was a slump in the number of passengers in 2009. In 2011, however, the number of passengers in 2008 was almost reached again. The high passenger numbers in 2012 can be explained by the European Football Championship 2012 in Poland and Ukraine.
