OREANDA-NEWS. June 04, 2013. Ukraine International Airlines will transfers all international scheduled flights from Terminal F to Terminal D of Kiev Boryspil International airport. UIA charter flights will continue to be operated from Terminal F, while domestic flights will be operated to/from Terminal B.

Due to UIA route network rapid expansion with new destinations in Russia, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Middle East, the new UIA-operated flights` number expansion, and impressive growth of UIA passengers traffic in 2013 – by 60% – Terminal F of Kiev Boryspil International airport throughput limit is to reach the ceiling in the coming months making UIA further development impossible and inevitable creating considerable inconvenience to passengers at all stages of the airport service process.

Terminal D throughput per hour is three times as high as that of Terminal F. Moreover, increased number of immigration control points, aviation safety control zones, comfortable transfer zone, 11 boarding bridges, modern system of baggage sorting and delivery, and more spacious terminal area will allow increasing the efficiency of UIA passenger service and reducing time spent on airport formalities. Implemented jointly by UIA and the airport technological solutions in Terminal D will provide transfer passengers with more comfortable conditions and simultaneously reduce connecting time.

"We hope that the transfer of UIA international scheduled flights to Terminal D of Kiev Boryspil International airport will contribute to early development and rationalization of both internal and surrounding infrastructure of Terminal D, – Anton Borisiuk UIA Vice-president Service and Logistics. – Long-term experience in commercial aviation development shows it’s impossible to construct and develop a hub as well as to generate and to evolve Kiev and Ukraine transit potential without joint efforts of both the airport and base carriers. We expect the airport’s management to deploy timely and reasonable efforts in order to implement designated and coordinated solutions on the issue”.
