History
The airport started operating in 1939.[1] But in November 2011, it was stripped from its registration as civil airport because it had not received any airplanes since 1990.[1] On 30 December 2015, the airport again received an airport certificate and reopened on 29 January 2016, with the (technical) flight of a Saab 340.[1][2] Maintenance for the fleet of Yanair is provided at Zhytomyr Airport.[1]
On 30 June 2021 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted an order to open a border checkpoint at Zhytomyr Airport, to allow it to accept international flights.[3] The following August 12 the checkpoint registered its first plane; an airplane from the United States with two citizens of Ukraine on board.[4]
On 27 February 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Zhytomyr Airport was hit by 2 Iskander missiles launched from Belarus.[5][6]
