Vienna Airport has signed a new agreement to support Ukrainian airports, focusing on rebuilding efforts and strengthening infrastructure. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed between Vienna Airport and the Association of Airports of Ukraine of Civil Aviation (AAUCA), aims to foster professional exchange and provide technical assistance.

Julian Jäger, joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport and President of the Austrian Airports Association (AÖV), signed the agreement alongside Petro Lypovenko, President of AAUCA. The signing took place during a delegation visit to Ukraine, attended by Johanna Mikl-Leitner, Governor of Lower Austria, and other high-level Austrian and Ukrainian officials.

“Even though the current situation is very difficult for the Ukrainian airports due to the war, the airports are already dealing with the challenges of restoring the infrastructure and resuming regular flight operations throughout the country once this conflict hopefully ends soon. As Vienna Airport, we want to support them in this endeavour within the framework of our cooperation agreement,” said Jäger.

As part of the partnership, Vienna Airport will donate specialised vehicles and technical equipment to strengthen Ukraine’s airport operations. The agreement also aims to explore synergies and joint market opportunities.

The MoU was signed during a business delegation from the Federation of Austrian Industries of Lower Austria, which visited Ukraine from 31 March to 2 April 2025. The mission included talks with key Ukrainian ministers, a visit to Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, and a trip to Hostomel military airport—site of the 2022 battle during Russia’s invasion.

Vienna Airport’s involvement, including its stake in nearby Kosice Airport, underscores its role as a logistics hub and a partner in Ukraine’s post-war recovery.
