In particular, flights to Turkey, Poland, Egypt and Israel were canceled. Also, there will be no domestic flights between Odessa and Kiev.
The reason for the cancellation of flights in Odessa
Several weeks ago, the airport reported that the Odessa airport had passed all the necessary certification procedures to start operating a new runway.
“To prepare a new runway for operation, NOTAM A2243 / 21 was issued, according to which the Odessa International Airport will not accept and send flights from 00:00 on July 15 to 12:00 on July 16,” the message says.
The official opening of the new strip will take place on July 16. It is expected that the airport will then be able to handle more than 2 million passengers a year.
