✈️ Air Baltic
✈️ Turkish Airlines
✈️ Sky Up
✈️ Austrian Airlines
✈️ Lufthansa
✈️ LOT
The CEO noted that they plan to resume regular flights first, but negotiations are ongoing on charter routes. For example, Sky Up can quickly return charter flights, as the airline has its own developed network of routes across Europe.

Potential opening dates
April - May are among the likely dates. However, Romanovska emphasised that even if the decision to open is made later, the airport in Lviv can fully resume flights by the holiday season. Many tour operators are already ready to quickly reorient passenger flows from European and Polish hubs back to Lviv, as it is more convenient and often cheaper.
Opening of other airports in western Ukraine
According to the head of Lviv Airport, Tetyana Romanovska, the government is considering reopening not only Lviv but also Uzhhorod airport. Interest in this region is growing, and a number of airlines have already studied the technical capabilities to service flights.
Earlier, Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyi said that several airports could resume operations in the country in 2025. He noted that a political decision remains the most important step in this regard, while the technical conditions in some cities are almost ready to resume air traffic.
Thus, if the scenario with the spring opening works out, Lviv will receive a powerful impetus for tourism and business development. Convenient logistics, historical attractions, and close economic ties with Europe can provide a significant boost and accelerate the recovery of the airline industry in the region.
