Denys KOSTRZHEVSKYI,<br />
Head of the Board of Directors of the<br />
International <strong>Airport</strong> Kyiv (Zhulyany)<br />
DEAR FRIENDS, PASSENGERS<br />
AND GUESTS OF <strong>KYIV</strong>!<br />
New year 2017 is the year of hope and expectations!<br />
In total in 2016 International airport Kyiv (Zhulyany)<br />
provided services for 1 million 127 thousand passengers<br />
and in comparison with the previous year its growth<br />
is almost by 20%. Our plan is to overcome an index of<br />
2 million passengers in 2017.<br />
Despite the economic crisis we are trying to move<br />
forward. At the beginning of January this year we<br />
solemnly opened a tourist information center – this is<br />
kind of a guide for guests of Kyiv and Ukraine, especially<br />
for those arriving for the first time.<br />
We are expanding our technical capabilities and<br />
staff. In January we announced a competition for the<br />
top vacancies. We are glad to take new employees into<br />
our team including passenger handling service, aviation<br />
security service.<br />
Statistics is a concrete and an unconditional science.<br />
Every month on the web-site of the International <strong>Airport</strong><br />
Kyiv we publish the figures showing that airlines meet<br />
the demands of passengers – open new destinations and<br />
the airport is trying to improve its rendered services by<br />
all means.<br />
The airline WizzAir presented on Christmas a new<br />
flight Bratislava–Kyiv–Bratislava for all residents of<br />
Ukraine and in summer opens three new flights from the<br />
airport Kyiv to Warsaw (Poland), Nuremberg (Germany)<br />
and Copenhagen (Denmark). To perform new flights to<br />
Kiev WizzAir shall add one aircraft to the Kyiv base.<br />
The number of flights on existing routes from Kyiv (to<br />
Budapest, Dortmund, Cologne, Bratislava, Hamburg,<br />
Memmingen) will also increase.<br />
From February 26th the Polish Airline LOT will open<br />
a daily direct flight to Warsaw from the capital airport.<br />
The Polish carrier has become the largest airline in<br />
the European Union which operates on the Ukrainian<br />
market.<br />
In May the largest Italian airline Alitalia opens a<br />
regular direct flight to Rome from our airport.<br />
You can appeal with numbers and statistics long.<br />
However, it is better to see everything with your own eyes<br />
and feel positive emotions from new journeys personally.<br />
Get involved in our friendly family and let each your<br />
journey start from the capital airport Kyiv!<br />
Regards,<br />
Denis KOSTRZHEVSKYI<br />
