BORYSPIL International Airport achieved cargo throughput of 45,675 tonnes in 2021, a record for the last four years.
The Ukraine airport's 2021 cargo throughput surpassed the cargo flow of 2019 by 8.7 per cent. However, the volume of handled mail totalled 6,828 tonnes, 69.5 per cent of 2019's results.
This year, the airport will begin the construction of a new cargo terminal with capacity of 120,000 tonnes a year, because the existing cargo terminal is at full capacity, reports London's Air Cargo News.
'(The) cargo segment remains stable and demonstrates the positive increase dynamics,' said Oleksiy Dubrevskyy, Boryspil IA SE director general. 'As of today, Boryspil Airport Cargo Terminal is operated on the brink of its peak load, therefore in 2022 we plan to begin the construction of new cargo terminal with capacity amounting to 120 thousand tonnes per year.'
He added the project will enable the airport's cargo operations to meet European standards.
In December 2021, 6,263 flights, 5,399 tonnes of cargo and 644 tonnes of mail were handled.
State-owned Boryspil International Airport is the largest and the busiest airport in Ukraine. Over 60 national and foreign airlines operate flights to the Airport on more than 120 routes worldwide.
The airport infrastructure includes two runways (4 km and 3.5 km long) and two full time operating terminals (D and F). Boryspil is the only airport in Ukraine, from which scheduled transcontinental flights are operated.
