The international airport in Zaporozhye is located on the eastern outskirts of the city.

- outbuildings and hangars designed for servicing and refueling aircraft
The airfield is capable of receiving small and medium-sized aircraft TU-154, An-24, Il-76 and helicopters of all types. The capacity of the air harbor is about 700 thousand passengers per year.
History
For several decades, the airport in Zaporozhye experienced difficult times. The main problem was that the airline was literally lagging behind life. The airport became obsolete morally and physically. And this, in turn, entailed an outflow of airlines and a gradual decrease in passenger traffic..
In 1982, with funds from the state budget, the airport runway was renovated. And in 2009, the Ministry of Ukraine allocated about 3 million hryvnia for the airport reconstruction project. It provided for the repair of the runway and navigation systems, as well as the expansion of the apron. All these works were planned in preparation for Euro 2012 and were estimated at 550 million hryvnia.
But when Dnepropetrovsk was not included in the number of cities - participants of the Euro, the vectors of priorities changed and funds for the reconstruction of the airport were not allocated. It was not possible for the enterprise to overcome the crisis on its own. And in May 2011 the airport reduced ¼ part of the staff.
In 2012, the airport was transferred to the ownership of the city, and in 2013 funds from the city budget were allocated for its reconstruction in the amount of 8.5 million hryvnias. To date, the bulk of the funds have been spent. By 2015, it is planned to build a new building of the passenger terminal.
Service and services
The airport has a minimum range of services to ensure safe passenger service. There are ticket offices, a mother and child room, a first-aid post, and a post office. Food points are organized. Round-the-clock security of the airport is provided. There is a parking lot for personal vehicles at the station square.
Transport
The airport is located within the city limits, so there is a regular movement of city buses and minibuses.
