Helping restore safer and more efficient air traffic in Ukraine

Sector:
Status: Active

The overall objective of the project is to restore effective civilian air traffic in Ukraine to promote fast recovery, growth and international inclusion.

Due to Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine’s air navigation infrastructure, including several key aerodrome control towers, has suffered significant damage. This has critically impacted the country’s ability to provide civil air traffic services, undermining both safety and national connectivity.
