Dnepropetrovsk (airport): how to get to the center
The hub is located five kilometers from the city limits. It is located in the southeast of Dnepropetrovsk. Judging sensibly, the city center is separated from the air harbor by all fifteen kilometers. In principle, you can take a taxi - cars with checkers and without them are on duty day and night in anticipation of riders. But if you arrive in Dnepropetrovsk in the afternoon, then you can use cheaper public transport. There are two fixed-route taxis from the airport to the city - number 60 and 109. Both follow the train station, only in different ways. And all these minibuses pass the central part of the city. It is most convenient to get to the Dnieper embankments in the sixtieth room. The airport is located on Zaporizhzhya highway, near the village of Stari Kodaki. By car, the city can be reached in twenty minutes.
History and development of the air harbor
Dnepropetrovsk received its airport in the time of the Soviet Union, in the thirties. Then it was a small regional hub, accepting exclusively local flights. Since then, the airport of Dnepropetrovsk has been repeatedly repaired. The terminal was reconstructed. The runway can now take on heavy sides. Its length is almost three kilometers. The spacious terminal houses customs and border services. All this made it possible to give the airport of Dnepropetrovsk international status. Accordingly, the passenger flow of the hub has also increased. In 2015, this air harbor received 346 thousand travelers.
In 2010, for the World Cup, the construction of a new passenger terminal began. Then it was believed that Dnepropetrovsk will host several matches of the Cup. However, when it was struck off the list of cities in which Euro 2012 will be held, construction was slowed down. Rather, it froze at the stage of a dug pit. But now, with new investors, the construction of the terminal has resumed. It will be three-level, with separate lounges for arrivals and departures. The terminal should have been commissioned back in 2015.
