Western Ukraine's regional gateway serving Rivne Oblast.
Location
Rivne, Ukraine
Rivne International Airport (IATA: RWN, ICAO: UKLR) is a regional airport located near the city of Rivne in northwestern Ukraine. It serves as the primary air gateway for Rivne Oblast, a region historically significant for its role in amber production and its proximity to the Polesia natural area.
The airport has operated limited scheduled and charter services over the years, with activity significantly disrupted following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which led to the closure of Ukrainian airspace to commercial flights.

The facility features a relatively small terminal and infrastructure typical of a regional Ukrainian airport, with capacity suited to low to moderate passenger volumes.
