Lviv Danylo Halytskyi International Airport (LWO) has been closed to civilian flights since February 24, 2022, following the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. As such, there are no recent traveler reviews or experiences for the periods of late 2024 and 2025, as the airport has not been operational for passenger traffic during this time. Ukraine's airspace remains closed to civil aviation due to critical safety risks.
Despite the ongoing closure, there have been discussions and optimistic scenarios regarding the potential reopening of Lviv International Airport in 2025. The general director of Lviv's Danylo Halytskyi International Airport has indicated that operations could resume as early as April or May 2025, or potentially later in the summer. Several airlines, including Wizz Air, Air Baltic, Turkish Airlines, SkyUp, Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, and LOT Polish Airlines, have reportedly expressed readiness to begin flights from Lviv once the airport reopens. The Ukrainian government is actively evaluating the situation, prioritizing flight safety and assessing technical factors, including infrastructure and personnel readiness. Before the conflict, Lviv Airport was the second largest and busiest airport in Ukraine, with a capacity to handle up to 3,000 passengers per hour, and it features a modern Terminal A which opened in 2012.
Given the current circumstances, any travel to Ukraine by air is not possible directly through Lviv. Travelers typically utilize land routes from neighboring countries.

Ride-hailing services like Uber, Bolt, and Uklon are the most common and reliable options. You can book a car through their respective mobile apps upon arrival. The trip to the city center usually takes 15-25 minutes, depending on traffic. It is advisable to avoid unsolicited offers from drivers inside the terminal.
Several international and local car rental companies, including Avis, Budget, Sixt, and Hertz, have service desks located in the arrivals hall of Terminal A. Booking in advance online is recommended for better rates and guaranteed availability. A valid driver's license, passport, and credit card are required; an International Driving Permit (IDP) may also be necessary.
The most budget-friendly options are the trolleybus and city bus.
- **Trolleybus No. 29:** Departs directly from the front of the new Terminal A and travels to the city center (near Ivan Franko University).
- **Bus No. 48:** The stop is located near the old terminal building, and it also runs to the city center.
This is a very affordable way to travel, though it can be crowded and less convenient with large luggage. Tickets are typically purchased from the driver.
