The new D terminal at Boryspil international airport state company would service first passengers by November 30, 2011, according to vice premier Ivan Vasiunik.
“We’ve reached the final agreement of terms on the commissioning of
the D terminal at Boryspil airport. We agreed that by October 1, 2011
chief constructor – a Turkish company – would transfer the terminal to
the customer – Boryspil airport, and by November 30, 2011 first
passengers of regular flights could be serviced,” Vasiunik’s press
service reported.
Vasiunik also said that in April 2010 the F terminal would be commissioned at the airport.
As reported, earlier the Ukrainian cabinet appointed Turkey’s Dogus
Insaat as a contractor for the construction of the D terminal at
Boryspil airport. State enterprise Boryspil International Airport and
Turkey’s Dogus/Alarko/YDA on September 26, 2008 signed a contract on
the construction of the D passenger terminal on the territory of the
airport.
According to a preliminary contract, the term of construction was to
be 29 months, although in connection with the preparations for the Euro
2012 European Football Championship, Ukraine later decided to decrease
the term to 26 months.
The cost of D terminal’s construction is $377 million. Financing
will come from a credit from the Japan Bank for International
Cooperation ($167 million) and the airport’s own funds ($210 million).
The project foresees the construction of a passenger terminal, an aircraft apron, roads, parking lots and other objects.
The new passenger terminal, with dimensions of 122 meters by 643.8
meters, will be able to handle up to 14,000 passengers at any one time.
Boryspil International Airport is located on a site of around 1,000
hectares. It has two runways: one with a length of 4,000 meters and a
width of 60 meters, and the other with a length of 3,500 meters and a
width of 63 meters. The airport has three passenger terminals and a
