How people reach Kyiv now. **Airport:** KBP **City:** Kyiv **Country:** Ukraine **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/kbp **Last updated:** 2026-07-25 Prices and transport schedules in this editorial guide are indicative. Confirm current public transport fares with the operator. Current transfer prices, availability and terms are shown in the live booking flow. ## Main Guide ### Quick answer **Boryspil International Airport is not operating passenger flights.** Ukrainian civil airspace has been closed since 24 February 2022. Ukraine's own NOTAM (A0095/25) closes the Kyiv flight information region to civil aviation, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency's Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB-2022-01R13, revised 26 January 2026 and valid until 31 July 2026) tells operators not to fly in that airspace, "including landing and departures from airports located in the affected airspace". If you are trying to reach Kyiv, you cannot currently fly into it. Travellers reach Ukraine overland — most commonly by train or long-distance bus from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania or Moldova, flying into a neighbouring country first. The airport itself is intact and maintained, its status is suspended rather than closed for good, and a number of international carriers have said they intend to return once it is safe. The Ukrainian government formed a working group in March 2026 to plan a phased reopening. But there is no reopening date, and reopening depends on the security situation rather than on a timetable. ### Why this guide has no prices Because no passenger flights land here, we are not publishing airport transfer prices for Boryspil. Any figure for a SkyBus ticket, a taxi or a private transfer from this airport would be a number for a journey nobody is currently taking, and fares in Ukraine have moved a great deal since 2022. When flights resume, check fares with the airport and the operators directly rather than trusting a page written in advance. The rest of this page describes the airport's situation rather than a transfer you can book today. We would rather tell you the airport is shut than sell you a taxi fare for it. ### What is actually at the airport now Boryspil has two passenger terminals, D and F. They are being maintained and modernisation work has continued through the closure, so that the airport can restart quickly once permitted. The airport company remains active and has been promoting a return to service to international airlines. What you will not find is a working arrivals hall for scheduled passengers, a taxi rank serving arriving flights, or the SkyBus and rail links running as an airport transfer service. Those exist as infrastructure, not as a service you can currently use off a flight. ### How people reach Kyiv today The usual pattern is to fly to a city outside Ukraine and continue overland. Rzeszów and Warsaw in Poland, Kraków, Košice, Budapest, Bucharest and Chișinău are the common jumping-off points, with onward trains and coaches into Ukraine. Ukrainian Railways runs long-distance services to Kyiv from the western border. Journey times are long — an overnight leg is normal — and border crossings add time. Schedules, routings and prices change with the security situation, so check directly with the rail or coach operator rather than relying on a figure quoted anywhere else. Check your government's travel advice before planning any trip to Ukraine. ### When will Boryspil reopen The airport itself is intact and maintained, its status is suspended rather than closed for good, and a number of international carriers have said they intend to return once it is safe. The Ukrainian government formed a working group in March 2026 to plan a phased reopening. But there is no reopening date, and reopening depends on the security situation rather than on a timetable. The EASA bulletin is reviewed periodically — the current revision runs to 31 July 2026 — and Ukraine's own NOTAMs are the operative instrument. If you want a reliable answer, those two sources and the airport's own announcements are where it will appear first. Anything else is speculation. ## Summary Boryspil was Kyiv's main international gateway and is being kept ready to be one again. It is not one today. The honest advice for anyone planning to reach Kyiv is to ignore airport transfer pages — including the ones that still quote SkyBus fares and taxi prices as though you could land here tomorrow — and plan an overland route, after checking your government's travel advice. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Can I fly to Kyiv Boryspil right now?** No. Ukrainian civil airspace has been closed since 24 February 2022 and Boryspil operates no passenger flights. EASA advises operators not to land at or depart from airports in the affected airspace. **Q: Is Boryspil airport closed permanently?** No. Its status is suspended, not permanently closed. The terminals are maintained and modernisation work has continued so the airport can restart quickly. Several international airlines have said they intend to return once it is safe. **Q: When will Kyiv airports reopen?** There is no announced date. The Ukrainian government formed a working group in March 2026 to plan a phased reopening, but any decision depends on the security situation, not a timetable. Treat any specific reopening date you see as speculation unless it comes from the Ukrainian authorities. **Q: How do people get to Kyiv now?** Overland. Most travellers fly to Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania or Moldova and continue by train or long-distance bus. Journeys are long and border crossings add time. Check schedules with the operator directly, and check your government's travel advice first. **Q: How much is a transfer from Boryspil to Kyiv?** There is no meaningful answer while the airport has no passenger flights, so we are not quoting one. Fares in Ukraine have moved substantially since 2022; when flights resume, check with the airport and operators directly. **Q: Does the SkyBus still run from Boryspil?** Not as an airport transfer for arriving passengers, because there are no arriving passengers. Do not plan around it. Check the airport's own channels when flights resume. **Q: Which terminal do international flights use at KBP?** Terminal D handled most international flights and Terminal F served low-cost and charter traffic. Both are currently maintained rather than in passenger service. ## Arriving late at night at Boryspil Airport (KBP) **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/kbp/late-night There are no night arrivals at Boryspil, because there are no arrivals. **Boryspil International Airport is not operating passenger flights.** Ukrainian civil airspace has been closed since 24 February 2022. Ukraine's own NOTAM (A0095/25) closes the Kyiv flight information region to civil aviation, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency's Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB-2022-01R13, revised 26 January 2026 and valid until 31 July 2026) tells operators not to fly in that airspace, "including landing and departures from airports located in the affected airspace". ## What this page used to say It described a cluster of arrivals from the Middle East and Asia between 11 PM and 4 AM, an overnight SkyBus running hourly, rideshare wait times and quoted fares for unofficial taxis. None of that describes the airport as it is. We have removed it rather than leave a plausible-looking night-arrival plan for an airport with no flights. ## If you are planning travel to Ukraine You will be arriving overland, not by air. Overnight legs are normal on the train and coach routes from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Moldova, so late-night arrival planning is worth doing — but for a railway station or a coach terminal, not for this airport. Confirm times with the operator, and check your government's travel advice before you plan. ## When flights resume The airport itself is intact and maintained, its status is suspended rather than closed for good, and a number of international carriers have said they intend to return once it is safe. The Ukrainian government formed a working group in March 2026 to plan a phased reopening. But there is no reopening date, and reopening depends on the security situation rather than on a timetable. At that point the airport's own channels will be the place to check night schedules and onward transport. ## Taxi vs transfer at Boryspil Airport **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/kbp/taxi-vs-transfer There is no decision to make here, because there is no ride to take. **Boryspil International Airport is not operating passenger flights.** Ukrainian civil airspace has been closed since 24 February 2022. Ukraine's own NOTAM (A0095/25) closes the Kyiv flight information region to civil aviation, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency's Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB-2022-01R13, revised 26 January 2026 and valid until 31 July 2026) tells operators not to fly in that airspace, "including landing and departures from airports located in the affected airspace". ## Why the comparison is gone This page used to weigh app-based taxis against pre-booked transfers, warn about unofficial drivers in the arrivals hall, and quote fares for each. That comparison assumed you had just walked out of the terminal off a flight. Nobody has done that since February 2022. The warning about unofficial drivers touting inside terminals is sound general advice at many airports, and it will be worth remembering if Boryspil reopens. It is not advice you need today. ## If you are travelling to Ukraine You will arrive overland, by train or long-distance bus from a neighbouring country. Ground transport within Kyiv is a different question from an airport transfer, and one this page is not the right place to answer. Check your government's travel advice before planning any trip. ## When flights resume The airport itself is intact and maintained, its status is suspended rather than closed for good, and a number of international carriers have said they intend to return once it is safe. The Ukrainian government formed a working group in March 2026 to plan a phased reopening. But there is no reopening date, and reopening depends on the security situation rather than on a timetable. ## Arriving at Boryspil Airport with family and kids **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/kbp/family-and-kids There is no family arrival to plan for at Boryspil. **Boryspil International Airport is not operating passenger flights.** Ukrainian civil airspace has been closed since 24 February 2022. Ukraine's own NOTAM (A0095/25) closes the Kyiv flight information region to civil aviation, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency's Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB-2022-01R13, revised 26 January 2026 and valid until 31 July 2026) tells operators not to fly in that airspace, "including landing and departures from airports located in the affected airspace". ## Why this page is short It used to cover terminal accessibility, luggage trolleys, child car seats and vehicle sizes for the drive into Kyiv, along with fares. All of that assumed a family walking off a plane at Terminal D. That has not been possible since February 2022, and we would rather say so plainly than leave a reassuring-looking arrivals plan for an airport with no arrivals. ## If you are travelling to Ukraine with children You will be arriving overland, after an often long train or coach journey from a neighbouring country, frequently overnight. That is a harder trip with young children than any airport transfer, and it deserves proper planning: confirm routes and times with the operator directly, and check your government's travel advice before you commit to anything. ## When flights resume The airport itself is intact and maintained, its status is suspended rather than closed for good, and a number of international carriers have said they intend to return once it is safe. The Ukrainian government formed a working group in March 2026 to plan a phased reopening. But there is no reopening date, and reopening depends on the security situation rather than on a timetable. ## What does it cost to get from Boryspil Airport to Kyiv? **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/kbp/cost-to-city The honest answer is that the question does not currently apply. **Boryspil International Airport is not operating passenger flights.** Ukrainian civil airspace has been closed since 24 February 2022. Ukraine's own NOTAM (A0095/25) closes the Kyiv flight information region to civil aviation, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency's Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB-2022-01R13, revised 26 January 2026 and valid until 31 July 2026) tells operators not to fly in that airspace, "including landing and departures from airports located in the affected airspace". ## Why we removed the prices Because no passenger flights land here, we are not publishing airport transfer prices for Boryspil. Any figure for a SkyBus ticket, a taxi or a private transfer from this airport would be a number for a journey nobody is currently taking, and fares in Ukraine have moved a great deal since 2022. When flights resume, check fares with the airport and the operators directly rather than trusting a page written in advance. This page used to quote SkyBus tickets, app fares, private transfer ranges and a hryvnia-to-euro conversion. All of it described an airport transfer that has not been possible since February 2022. Leaving those numbers up would have been worse than useless: they looked specific, so they looked checked. ## Reaching Kyiv now Travellers reach Ukraine overland, typically flying into Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania or Moldova and continuing by train or long-distance bus. Ukrainian Railways runs long-distance services to Kyiv from the western border. Journey times are long and border crossings add time. Fares and schedules change with the security situation, so book with the rail or coach operator directly. Check your government's travel advice before planning any trip. ## When the airport reopens The airport itself is intact and maintained, its status is suspended rather than closed for good, and a number of international carriers have said they intend to return once it is safe. The Ukrainian government formed a working group in March 2026 to plan a phased reopening. But there is no reopening date, and reopening depends on the security situation rather than on a timetable. When that changes, fares should be checked against the airport and the operators themselves — not against a page like this one written in advance. ## Published Guide Pages - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/kbp - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/kbp/late-night - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/kbp/taxi-vs-transfer - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/kbp/family-and-kids - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/kbp/cost-to-city ## Booking and Support Search: https://www.airporttransferportal.com/search?airport=KBP Airport Transfer Portal is a marketplace; local operators fulfil the transfer.
