Zaporizhzhia International Airport

Zaporizhzhia International Airport (IATA: OZH, ICAO: UKDE) (Ukrainian: Міжнародний аеропорт «Запоріжжя») is the international airport that serves Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine, one of three airfields around the city.

This happened in the face of the extremely difficult economic and political situation in the country.

The Ukrainian low-cost airline SkyUp became another new carrier that started cooperation with the airport.

[20] Also this year, the airport representatives are participating for the first time in the Routes Europe 2018 Forum, one of the largest air aviation forums in the world, allowing for meetings between the most influential players in the airline market.

The executor of the work was the company "Altis-Construction", which won the tender with a proposal of ₴529.85 million.

On 14 December 2018, the airport was authorized to take a loan from state-owned banks amounting to ₴280 million.
