Vice premier: New D terminal at Boryspil airport to service first passengers by December 2011
Sep 14, 2009 at 11:51 | Interfax-Ukraine"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 cargo complex.
