The airport is the main airfield serving the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city. Located to the south-east of the centre, in the city's Kominternovskij district. The main terminal at Kharkiv was built in the 1950s in a socialist neo-classical style favoured by Joseph Stalin. However, with the awarding of Euro 2012 to Poland and Ukraine, Kharkiv International has built a new modern international terminal in order to comply with UEFA regulations. The old building will be renovated to become a VIP terminal.
