History and development of the air harbor
Dnepropetrovsk received its own airport back in the days of the Soviet Union, in the thirties. Then it was a small regional hub that accepted exclusively local flights. Since then, the Dnepropetrovsk airport has been repeatedly repaired. The terminal has been renovated. The runway can now take heavy aircraft. Its length is almost three kilometers. The spacious terminal houses customs and border services. All this made it possible to grant Dnepropetrovsk airport the status of an international one. Accordingly, the passenger traffic of the hub also increased. In 2015, this air harbor received 346,000 travelers.
In 2010, for the World Cup, the construction of a new passenger terminal began. Then it was believed that Dnepropetrovsk would host several Cup matches. However, when it was removed from the list of cities that will host Euro 2012, construction slowed down. Rather, it froze at the stage of a dug pit. But now, with new investors, the construction of the terminal has resumed. It will be three-level, with separate halls for arrivals and departures. Passterminal should have been back in 2015.
