Ivano-Frankivsk International Airport, Ukrainian Міжнародний аеропорт Івано-Франківськ (IATA: IFO, ICAO: UKLI) is an airport bordering Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, some 4.4 km (2.7 mi) by road from the town center. Ivano-Frankivsk airport is an international airport with frontier and customs control since 1992. The airport traffic capacity is claimed to be 400 passengers per hour [1].

A second concrete runway, 6,325 ft (1,928 m) long, is now used by the military as a parking lot, and a large apron (located northwest of the civilian terminal) is still in use by the Ukrainian Air Force (Військово-Повітряні Сили України).
Despite some efforts in the past to promote the airport and its relative proximity [2] to the Bukovel ski area, Vorokhta and the Carpathian National Nature Park [3] and other quiet, spectacular mountain sceneries, the airport remains largely underused, with just one 44-seater Antonov An-24 landing there per day (but see next section).

[edit] Airlines and destinations

Though some scarce charter flights are occasionally operated to and from IFO, only one destination is scheduled, constantly by Aerosvit (other airlines seem to operate this route on occasions):
