History

On June 22, 1959, the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR ordered establishment of regular civil air traffic to the then military airfield near Boryspil. On July 7, 1959 the new airport (named Kiev-Tsentralnyi) received its first scheduled flight. It was Aeroflot's Tupolev Tu-104 en route from Moscow, carrying 100 passengers and about 3,500 pounds (1,600 kg) of cargo aboard.

In November 1960, the first permanent air group consisting of Tu-104 and Antonov An-10 planes was assigned to the airport.

In 1980s Boryspil airport began receiving limited international flights. The additional passenger services and customs/border control groups were established for that purpose. However, ordinary Soviet citizens were not allowed to depart abroad from Kiev, instead restricted to fly only from Moscow airports.

Development

The expanded Terminal B

Boryspil International Airport handles most of Ukraine's international traffic. Terminal B, having only a few gates, is not enough to handle all international flights from the airport. This was the cause of the expansion of that terminal, which started in 2005. The expansion to Terminal B was opened on January 27, 2006.

Boryspil Airport Concept

There are also plans on expanding the airport further by building several new terminals. The government has been having meetings with the owners of land around the airport, trying to buy more land for airport expansion. Terminal D is to be constructed by 2008, while Platform M, which is connected to Terminal B and requires redevelopment, is going to be constructed in 2009-2010. The reason the reconstruction of Platform M is delayed is because Terminal B needs to be fully operational. When Terminal D opens, platform M can be reconstructed without major impact on traffic. The construction of Terminals E, F, and G is going to take place in 2010-2020, corresponding to passenger density demands. Image File history File links Boryspil-terminal2020. ...
