Lviv is the largest city in Western Ukraine. It has always attracted tourists with its hospitality, comfort and many attractions. Just getting into the city by air was not easy. The old terminal could not provide a sufficient level of service and simply could not cope with just a few flights a day.
Everything has changed thanks to the reception of Euro 2012. By the beginning of the matches, a new stadium and terminal of the terminal were built in the city, fully meeting modern standards of comfort and safety. Now it is available to everyone, and the Lviv airport itself can be called one of the decorations of the city.

The terminal has 28 check-in desks, 2 self-check-in desks, 18 passport control points, 9 boarding gates, 4 of which are equipped with telescopic ramps. At the moment, Lviv (airport) meets all modern requirements, a photo of the building is a confirmation of this.
Terminal 1 building is temporarily closed. The possibility of its restoration and arrangement for VIP passengers is being considered. This is an interesting idea, since the building has an interesting architecture, the walls and ceiling are painted with paintings inside the hall. In any case, you will have to completely replace all the services of control, registration, reception and baggage claim.
