"Journalists, region’s governor Serhiy Mashkovsky and the city Zhytomyr mayor Serhiy Sukhomlyn came to have a look at the launch of the renovated airport," a statement said. Earlier, mayor Serhiy Sukhomlyn said that the first plane would be a passenger empty plane. Recall that Ukrainian Yanair airline acted as investor in the reconstruction of the airport. This airport has not actually operated for the last 25 years.
