History
Aviation enthusiast, entrepreneur Artur Antonovich Anatra in 1908 bought a plot of land in the steppe, near the Shooting Field military range, placing there aircraft repair and assembly workshops (since 1913 - Anatra Airplane Plant), an aeroclub (since 1910 - a pilot school) and a school airfield used for training and test flights. Later the name "Shkolny" was officially assigned to the airfield.
The history of the airport in Odessa began in 1924. Then an air station was opened at the Shkolny airfield, which on May 21 took the first technical flight, and on May 25 - the first passenger flight of Ukrvozduhput on the route Kharkov - Zinovievsk - Odessa. A little later, the Odessa - Kiev - Chernigov - Moscow flight was opened, and since the beginning of the 1930s, flights were opened on the Odessa - Nikolaev - Krivoy Rog - Dnepropetrovsk - Kharkov line on the first Soviet passenger aircraft K-5 (the flight lasted about 6 hours from three landings).
From the late 1940s to 1961, the main airport in Odessa was Zastava Airport (with a 800 m long unpaved runway). Since 1961, it was used to carry out aviation work (primarily agricultural) on An-2 aircraft and helicopters, then it was closed. In the 1960s - 1980s, from the Zastava airport, a large number of passenger flights on An-2 aircraft to regional centers and large villages of the Odessa region. In 1994, the airport "Zastava" was closed, now it entered the territory of the Western cemetery of the city of Odessa.
In 1960, on the territory of the Shkolny state aviation airfield, an artificial runway (at the current location) with a length of 2800 meters, an apron, and then the terminal building (since then, the Shkolny airfield (on which is still based aircraft repair plant and aviation of the border troops) does not have its own artificial runway, and uses the airport strip for takeoffs and landings). In 1961, the new Odessa airport was commissioned and began to receive Tu-104 jet passenger aircraft. Odessa airport was one of three airports in the Ukrainian SSR that could receive airliners of this type.
The main airport facilities, on the basis of which the Odessa United Squadron operated, created in 1961 as an independent enterprise, were built in 1960-1961 (runway, taxiways, aircraft parking areas, aviation technical base, air traffic control building other). The area of the airport is 570.8 hectares.
The air terminal complex, the total throughput of which as of 2013 is 400 passengers per hour, is intended to serve international and domestic lines. In 1982, a cargo terminal was built.
Specifications
On December 7, 2016, a Boeing 767-300 landed at the airport for the first time, for which the airport is not certified. By this board the Manchester United team arrived in Odessa.
The airfield, built 50 years ago, was practically not reconstructed in subsequent years. The main inconsistencies are in the condition of the airfield pavements (unsatisfactory evenness and insufficient bearing capacity), in their insufficient geometric dimensions, as well as in the complex longitudinal and transverse profiles of the runway and taxiways.
The structure of the runway, taxiways, aprons and aircraft parking areas is represented by rectangular cement-concrete slabs 24-26 cm thick on a compacted soil base, reinforced with two-layer asphalt concrete 16-20 cm thick, (for RD-1 - two-layer asphalt concrete 12 cm thick with a reinforcing geogrid ). Bearing capacity of aerodrome pavements (classification number ACN-PCN): Runway - 30 / R / C / X / T; MRD (1 account) - 21 / R / B / X / T; MRD (2 accounts) - 16 / R / B / X / T; apron - 17 / R / C / X / T.

As of the summer of 2013, the renovation is ongoing. During his visit to the site, the former mayor of Odessa, Aleksey Kostusev, noted that clear progress was being made in the construction of the new terminal. The zero construction cycle has already been completed, that is, the foundation is completely ready. The frame of the building was also built up to the level of the third floor, and at the end of July it is planned to install the roof. At the moment, the readiness of the frame is 50%, by the end of the year it is planned to carry out internal work and begin the installation of equipment. The commissioning of the object was planned in September 2014.

On September 7, 2015, the director of Odessa International Airport LLC Andrey Shatyuk announced that the new terminal was planned to be commissioned on June 15, 2016. It is also planned to attract volunteers to test the terminal and transfer charter flights at the initial stage of its operation. In the near future, the installation of the facade and the improvement of the adjacent territories will be completed, after which the interior decoration of the building will begin.
A little earlier, the management of the low-cost airline Wizz Air expressed their interest in resuming cooperation with the Odessa airport. However, this will not happen before the construction of the new terminal and runway is completed at the airport.
09/10/2015 Minister of Infrastructure Andrey Pivovarsky said that the construction of a new runway for Odessa airport, which is 75% owned by a private company, given the priority of this project for the region, will be financed from the state budget. Construction can start in 2016 and end in 2017. The issue of both the construction of a new runway and the reconstruction of the old one is being considered. The project is estimated at $ 80-200 million. At the moment, negotiations are underway to find the necessary funds. With whom, however, it is not specified.
At the beginning of April 2016, the installation of the general sewerage system of the terminal was completed, which made it possible to finish filling 2/3 of the floor area of the first floor. Installation of ventilation, smoke removal and fire extinguishing systems is in progress. The installation of transitional galleries between the terminal building and the receivers of the bridges is nearing completion. The metal structures of the galleries are assembled on the ground, and then, with the help of cranes, they are assembled to the terminal and receivers. By the end of this month, it is planned to complete the installation of electrical networks, fire alarms, water supply and sewerage systems by floors.
At the beginning of June, the terminal is 70% ready and will be commissioned in September. From now on, it will operate in test mode for 2-3 months, receiving domestic flights. The terminal will be fully operational in March 2017, when the work of the international checkpoint will be fully organized.
“The construction of the terminal is approaching its final stage.
Today the question is about the need to build a new runway. Already this week I plan to appeal to the Prime Minister of Ukraine and the Minister of Infrastructure with a request to provide funds in the state budget for these purposes, ”commented Gennady Trukhanov on the results of the workshop.
In October 2016, the Odessa city administration came close to receiving government funding for the construction of a new runway. The mayor said that he had discussed the issue of financing with Prime Minister Vladimir Groisman and Minister of Transport Andrei Pivovarsky. At the meeting, a roadmap of actions was developed, which will make it possible to start work in the near future. The construction of a new runway will cost UAH 1.6 billion. In addition to the coating, it is planned to install modern equipment, which will make it possible to receive aircrafts in adverse weather conditions.
At the end of January 2016, the terminal was put into operation, however, according to the mayor, the terminal will start accepting flights not earlier than spring 2017, and only domestic ones. The terminal was accepted by experts from Kiev, now the site is expected to be accepted by the local authorities.
