From Kyiv, a direct train to the airport of one of the neighboring countries will be launched

The government of the Slovak Republic has supported the proposal to introduce a direct railway connection along the route Kyiv - Košice. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Community Development, Territories, and Infrastructure of Ukraine.

According to the information from the State Secretary of the Ministry of Transport of the Slovak Republic, Denis Žilakova, the route will serve, among other things, to enable more Ukrainians to use the services of the international airport in Košice.

It is noted that the train from Kyiv will arrive at the Haniska station near Košice via the Pavlovo - Matovske Vojkovce border crossing.

Organizational and preparatory work will be carried out before the route is launched. Equipment for border and customs control is being installed, the platform at the Haniska station near Košice is being changed, and bus connections to the airport and the railway station in Košice are being prepared. A contract for transport services with the Slovak Railways will also be concluded, and funding will be secured.
