About the airport
Chernivtsi International Airport (CWC) is the airport of Chernivtsi, about 4 km from the city centre. Before the war it was a small regional airport in Bukovina, with a limited number of routes. Since 24 February 2022, following the Russian invasion, Ukrainian airspace has been closed to civil aviation: the airport is closed to civilian flights and there is no flight schedule. This guide describes the airport as it operated before the war.
