Lviv Danylo Halytskyi International Airport (Template:Lang-ua) (IATA: LWO, ICAO: UKLL) is an international airport in Lviv, Ukraine. The airport is located 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from central Lviv. The airport is named after King Daniel of Galicia, the historical founder of the city in 1256 AD.

History

Established in 1929 as Lwów-Skniłów Airport. Skniłów was the name of the neighbouring village which today is part of Lviv. Before the Second World War, it operated a domestic route to Warsaw and Krakow. In 1930 the international route to Bucharest was launched which was extended in 1931 to Sofia and Thessaloniki. In 1936 the above route was extended to Athens and Lydda.

In 2010, the airport carried 481,900 passengers.[1] In preparation for Euro 2012, Lviv International Airport has undergone a $200m expansion project. Lviv airport's new terminal building has an area of 34,000m² with a capacity of handling 1,000 passengers an hour.[2] Of the $200m, it was expected that the Ukrainian government will provide $70m, including $14m in 2008, and $130m came from private investors.[3] The expansion project included a 700-meter extension of the existing runway and a new airport terminal capable of handling up to 1,220 passengers per hour (5.69 million passenger annually).[2][4]

The airport used to be a focus city for Wizz Air Ukraine, which served four international routes to Italy (Naples, Bergamo, and Treviso) and Germany (Dortmund) from here until the airline was dissolved April 2015 (routes from Kyiv International Airport were taken over by the parent company).[5] In January 2017, Wizz Air announced that it would be resuming flights to Lviv, with the introduction of a route to Wroclaw.[6]

In March 2017, Ryanair announced that it would be launching seven routes to Lviv starting October 2017.[7]

Facilities

Terminal A

The airport has two terminals (1 and A), though only terminal A currently in operation. Terminal A was opened in 2012. It has 29 check-in desks, of which nine are meant for domestic and remaining for international flights.[2] It has nine gates, four of them equipped with jetbridges, and can handle up to 2000 passengers per hour. Facilities at the airport also include four cafés and two duty-free shops, as well as two airport lounges, one in the domestic section and one in the international.

Terminal 1

Opened in 1955, this was the airport's sole terminal until 2012, when terminal A was opened. It can handle 300 departing and 220 arriving passengers per hour.[8] It currently does not handle any flights. There are tentative plans to use it for VIP passengers in the future.[9]
