Cherkasy International Airport (Ukrainian: Міжнародний аеропорт "Черкаси") (IATA: CKC, ICAO: UKKE) is located 5.5 km from the city center.

In 1997 the airport lost most of its charter flights, and was finally closed in 2002 due to economic struggles, and problems with the property.

In late 2009, work was in progress on the creation and opening of border crossing points for assigning the status of international airport.

The Ukrainian airline SkyUp is interested in Cherkasy airport in terms of flights to Ukraine and abroad in the future.

Cherkasy Airport has the airport complex, which includes: air terminal throughput capacity of 400 passengers per hour, which provides for passage of customs, cargo terminal for storing 1,000 tons of cargo, administration building with dining area, fuel storage, a warehouse for technical equipment and materials, and a building for the aircraft maintenance base.
