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. The first routes served were Moscow–Kyiv–Moscow and Leningrad–Kyiv–Leningrad. State motto: Ukrainian: Пролетарі всіх країн, єднайтеся! Translation: Workers of the world, unite!

In November 1960, the first permanent air group consisting of Tu-104 and Antonov An-10 planes was assigned to the airport. Until then the airport has been served only by aircraft based in Moscow and other cities of the Soviet Union. A new passenger terminal of Boryspil airport was opened in 1965. Later that year an automatic landing assistance system was installed in the airport. The Antonov An-10 Ukraine (NATO reporting name: Cat) was a four-engined turboprop passenger transport aircraft. ...

In 1963 the Ukrainian Territorial Administration of Civil Aviation formed its Boryspil subdivision comprising of the airport and its air group. The air group grew significantly in 1960-1970s. As of 1974 it was consisting of four fleets of turbofan aircraft (Tu-104, Tu-134, Tu-154 planes) and two fleets of turboprop aircraft (Ilyushin Il-18 planes).

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 Kyiv, instead restricted to fly only from Moscow airports. In late 1980s, Mikhail Saakashvili, the President of modern Georgia, served his conscript service in the Soviet border guard's Boryspil Separate Group that was maintaining border control in the airport.

In 1993 the Ministry of Transportation of the newly-independent Ukraine reorganized airport into the Boryspil State International Airport and created a local subdivision of Air Ukraine to serve it. The airport was opened for any passengers and flights. The number of air- and passenger traffic has been growing since then. Air Ukraine was an airline based in Kiev, Ukraine. ...

In early 2000s Boryspil became a hub airport serving not only destined but also transit flights of the foreign airlines. The strategy of the airport's development is stressing the hub role since domestic passenger demand is growing insufficiently compared to the possible transit traffic. Transit commonly refers to: Public transport, transportation systems in which the passengers do not travel in their own vehicles Astronomical transit, when one celestial body appears to move across the face of another celestial body, as seen by an observer at some particular vantage point Navigational transit, when a navigator...

In 2002 the airport was certified under the ISO 9001 quality management system. ISO 9000 specifies requirements for a Quality Management System overseeing the production of a product or service. ...

1. Terminal A (Domestic flights)

Development

Boryspil International Airport handles most of Ukraine's international traffic. Terminal B, having only five gates at the time, two of which were air bridges, was 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 first-stage expansion to Terminal B was opened on January 27, 2006.

Year 2006 (MMVI) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

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 construction is planned to start in the second quarter of 2008, and expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2010. while Platform M, which is connected to Terminal B and requires redevelopment, is going to be reconstructed 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. A new runway will be constructed in 2012-2014. The construction of Terminals E, F, and G is going to take place in 2010-2020, corresponding to passenger density demands; and terminals F and G will be capable of handling Airbus's A380.

The Airbus A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus, an EADS subsidiary. ...

New hotels will also open near Boryspil Airport. A Radisson hotel at Boryspil airport will open in late 2009. And a Hilton hotel will open in late 2008. Radisson may refer to: Radisson Hotels & Resorts, an international hotel and resort chain. ... Look up Hilton in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
