Danylo Halytskyi Lviv International Airport is the largest Airport in Western Ukraine, in terms of passenger traffic and route network, located 6 km south of the city centre. The route network of the Airport consists of 32 destinations (30 international and 2 domestic). For the Euro 2012 championship, a new airport complex was built on the territory of the Airport using the latest achievements of the aviation industry, which meets modern technologies of passenger and baggage handling, as well as international architectural and technical standards and requirements of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) and IATA (International Air Transport Association).
The new airport was opened on April 12, 2012. The new terminal "A", with a total area of 39 thousand square meters, contains 9 boarding gates, 4 gangways, 28 check-in desks, 2 self-check-in kiosks, 18 passport control points and 12 aviation security checkpoints. The new airport terminal was built, taking into account the needs of people with disabilities. Therefore, the terminal is equipped in such a way as to ensure comfortable movement and service for disabled passengers. The new terminal has VIP lounges for passengers of domestic and international flights, as well as a modern Duty-Free. The territory adjacent to the new airport terminal contains two parking lots, which are designed for 25 parking spaces for buses and 1.1 thousand parking spaces for cars.
There is also a Tourist Information Center inside the airport.
