I didn't see any thread about the International Airport in Kyiv, so I decided to start one. The airport currently has 3 terminals: Terminal A- For flights only around Ukraine, Terminal B- International flights and Terminal C- Flights for vehicles. As you know that Poland and Ukraine are hosting the football tournament in 2012 (Euro 2012), so all the cities have to build modern airports big enough to let thousands of football fans arrive in like a day or so. So right now there are 2 Terminals being constructed in the Kyiv airport (Terminal D and Terminal F, I don't know why there is no Terminal E hno. Currently there is good progress on the construction of Terminal F, but Terminal D still needs a lot of work.

Also photos taken from September 2009 of the construction sites:
They are not that tiny hno: Besides, this is a good idea of making a few Terminals, so that if there was one big Terminal, it wouldn't be so crowded at least.
Few visualisations of terminal D and a parking lot:
Interior of the terminal D
Some general information about it
The new terminal complex with approx. capacity of 3000 PHP
Located at a distance of 1250 m from the existing terminals.
The mentioned complex includes the following: construction of the terminal building of 110000 m2.
11 passenger loading bridges and 8 gates to the apron will provide flight arrival/departure.
apron for 21 aircraft parking stands
Construction Update
Terminal F (it's going to be used by low-cost companies and for charter flights)
Update:
Terminal B (after the reconstruction it's going to be used for the domestic flights)
They have finished reconstruction of the right part (outlined in yellow). Now they are working with the left part (blue)
Terminal C and A are going to be reconstructed too. Terminal A going to be used for domestic flights
Terminal C for VIP passangers
That's quite weird idea to separate whole airport. I understand if they separate for example only low-cost terminal, but other terminal can be one big complex, which is easier to operate and use transit zone. As of when new terminals will be built passengers suppose to run to other terminal if they want to travel abroad and arrived from other Ukrainian city. :|

IMO that's not going to be a problem. I am almost sure that they will organize connection between terminals. And due to the fact that terminals not far from each other it won't take a lot of time to change terminal
#22: So, Lufthansa is coming down with two B707s daily? Nice roof - like a few others here I do however not understand why no decision was made to put everything under one roof (or have at least only 2 Terminals, one for LCC, one for regular carriers) - Kiev is nowhere near the size of the examples given (LHR, JFK) and a single terminal would definitely boost Kievs possibilities as an ukrainean and/or eastern european hub. Wrong way to go IMHO.

Nice to see they're finally modernizing and expanding the Borispol airport.
I was pretty surprised how small Kiews biggest airport was when I landed there the first time.
What about the other airport near Kiew, are they going to expand that too?
The Zhulyani airport? They do have a plan, as well as a render to modernize the terminal, but I don't think that they will modernize it, firstly because of the money it needs, secondly its not such a big airport, its only local flights around Ukraine.
