Location

Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine

Kryvyi Rih International Airport (IATA: KWG, ICAO: UKDR) serves Kryvyi Rih, one of Ukraine's largest cities and a major center of iron ore mining and steel production. The airport is located in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast of central Ukraine and historically provided both domestic and limited international connections. The airport has faced significant operational disruptions due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine following Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022, which led to the closure of Ukrainian civilian airspace. Prior to the conflict, it handled modest passenger volumes, serving as a regional hub for a city of nearly one million residents. Kryvyi Rih holds personal significance as the birthplace of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, raising the city's international profile in recent years.
