History
The old terminal at Kharkiv was built in the 1950s employing a neoclassical style.
However, with the selection of Poland and Ukraine to co-host the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship, a new modern international terminal was built in order to comply with UEFA regulations. The old building was renovated to become a VIP terminal.
Since 2013, the airport operates a CATII instrument landing system (ILS).
