Location
Chernivtsi, Ukraine
Chernivtsi International Airport (IATA: CWC, ICAO: UKLN) is a regional airport located in Chernivtsi, the administrative center of Chernivtsi Oblast in western Ukraine. It serves as the primary air gateway to the region, which is known for its well-preserved Austro-Hungarian architecture and the UNESCO-listed Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans. The airport has historically operated a limited number of domestic and international routes, with connectivity to Kyiv and select European destinations. Operations have been significantly affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine that escalated in February 2022, with Ukrainian airspace closed to civilian traffic. Despite its small size, the airport has undergone periodic modernization efforts over the years to improve its infrastructure and handling capacity for both passengers and cargo.
