Distance & flight time from KBP
Boryspil International Airport
Boryspil International Airport (KBP), located southeast of Kyiv, was historically Ukraine's largest and busiest airport, serving as the country's main international gateway and hub for its flag carrier. Before 2022, KBP handled the majority of Ukraine's long-haul and international traffic, connecting Kyiv to destinations across Europe, Asia, and North America. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, Ukrainian airspace has been closed to civilian aviation, and KBP has not operated scheduled commercial passenger flights; the airport has instead featured in wartime news coverage due to its strategic location and periodic attacks. As of the current period, civilian flights through KBP remain suspended, with resumption dependent on the security situation and reopening of Ukrainian airspace. Prior to the war, KBP was a modern facility with multiple terminals reflecting substantial growth in Ukrainian aviation over the preceding decade.
