State International Airport Boryspil (Kyiv region) has resumed operation, according to Liudmyla Petriv, the airport's press secretary. "The airport resumed work at 11am," she said.
In her words, the airport stopped working because of a plane of Wizz Air Ukraine airline drove beyond a runway when landing at the airport on Dec. 29.
"The plane was removed from the flight strip and work resumed," Petriv said.
At the same time she added, the incident was not due to the runway’s condition.
She emphasised, on Dec. 29, at 2 p.m. the runway was cleared from snow and was in ideal state.
"From 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. we set out eleven planes and accepted eighteen. All went normally," Petriv added.
In her words, at the moment the airport is functioning at full force and the airlines themselves decide on departures and landings.
As earlier reported, Boryspil Airport suspended operation for technical reasons.
Boryspil Airport was inactive from Dec. 28 7.50 p.m. to Dec. 29, 2.34 p.m. because of bad weather.
