Kharkov International Airport is located within the city limits, in the historical district of Osnova. This is why the aero node is also sometimes called the Base. The history of this air harbor began back in 1923 - then the Ukrvozdukhput Joint Stock Company was established to organize regular flights.
The airport terminal, which operates today, was built after the end of the Great Patriotic War on a standard project. It is interesting that the same project was applied in Lviv, Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk and many other cities. It is worth noting that the building is very beautiful and monumental, in the style of Stalinist architecture. A portico of eight columns and a high parapet adorn the central entrance, a golden wreath rises above the turret's turret. There are two terminals operating at the airport - the main one, for domestic and international flights, and the VIP terminal.
