The top management of the Kiev-Boryspil airport management company communicated that the Ukrainian airport is ready at any time to resume operations and commercial flights as soon as the war against Russia is over. It was announced yesterday during the "Routes Europe 2023" conference held in Lodz, Poland.

"The heart of civil aviation in Ukraine is still beating. And the heart of Kyiv-Boryspil airport is also beating. The main goal for us was just to stay alive" and provide support to medical and humanitarian emergency operations. "Sooner or later we'll get back on track and that's why we're thinking about the future", explained managing director Oleksiy Dubrevskyy, revealing that he is already working on a recovery plan.

The manager said that the war led to the beginning of a close collaboration with the Ukrainian armed forces, while commercial operations were completely suspended, the take-off and landing runways were closed, and parked aircraft were transferred to safe areas. Despite this, the 3615 employees would not have been fired, but kept at home with reduced salaries.
