The Danylo Halytsky Lviv international airport from June 24, transferred the servicing of Kyiv (Zhuliany)-Lviv flights Nos. MSI263/MSI265 of Motor Sich airline to the old terminal, the airport has reported on its website.
The entrance from the apron will be made through the doors adjacent to the VIP room in the left wing of the building.
“We had long planned to use it [the old terminal] for its intended purpose. And now it is very useful for us to facilitate the work during peak periods, maintenance of charter (we will begin in two or three weeks) and special flights operated by small business aircraft,” Director General of the airport Tetiana Romanovska, who is quoted in the report, said.
She thanked the Motor Sich airline, which was the first to agree to service flights on arrival at the premises of the old terminal, which was empty for a long time.
According to Romanovska, now the old airport terminal is used for special and VIP flights. At the same time, it will be re-equipped for work with domestic transportation. It will also be attracted to work with charter flights. It will begin in two or three weeks.
The decision to use the premises of the old terminal was made due to the overload of the arrival zone of the new terminal during the peak passenger traffic, which lasts almost every day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the summer season.
“At the moment, new Terminal A has only two tapes for baggage claim: one for international and one for domestic flights. Thus, by moving part of the passenger traffic to the old terminal, both of them will be able to be used for servicing the international flights,” the airport said.
In addition, the Lviv airport began work on the launch of another baggage tape and an increase in the length of the two existing ones in the new terminal. Developments are at the design stage and the creation of technical tasks.
