Arriving at Boryspil Airport with family and kids

Last updated: April 2026

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.
