Sep 18, 2019 (newstodate): Ukraine and Slovakia are determined to enhance the potentials of an international airport located at their common border.
Located at the border with Slovakia and near the border with Hungary, Uzhgorod International Airport with one 2,038m runway has so far never been able to exploit its potentials from drawing traffic from both markets, and was out of service for three years.
At a meeting this week, the presidents of the two countries have now decided to spur joint control on the Ukrainian-Slovak border and work for the resumption of the full functioning of Uzhgorod Airport.
Today, only the Ukrainian carrier Motor Sich operates flights on a route Kiev-Lviv-Uzhgorod with one weekly rotation starting from March 15, 2019.
In 2016, the Ukrainian authority suspended the airport's licence to operate passenger flights over breaches in safety.
