Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan has said the ministry is preparing concession deals for the Boryspil and Lviv airports, as well as several municipal ones across the country.

"We have about 10 projects related to both the maritime industry and the railways. We are serious about the issue of airports and also preparing concession for the Boryspil and Lviv airports with the involvement of regional airports. This will be a package, namely one state airport and several municipal ones. I am convinced this is the very tool that will allow attracting investment transparently, and I am very glad that, thanks to the support of the president of Ukraine, we are implementing these projects today," the ministry's press service quotes Omelyan as saying during the first meeting of the competitive commissions on two pilot concession projects in the ports of Olvia and Kherson.
