Kiev - Boryspil International Airport (KBP)

Boryspil International Airport is the main airport serving Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. This airport accounts for over 70% of all passenger traffic in the country and all of its intercontinental flights. Boryspil Airport opened in 1959 but before the independence of Ukraine from the Soviet Union in 1990 it remained small, with strict limits on the amount of international flights to Kiev. After independence the government reorganized the airport and convinced several airlines to use Boryspil Airport as a hub. Since then passengers has grown steadily to over 8 million a year making this airport one of Eastern Europe's busiest airports.
