## Description

Kryvyi Rih stretches for more than 60 km along the iron-ore deposits of the Kryvbas — the city is home to ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine's largest steelworks, and the birthplace of President Volodymyr Zelensky. Its airport (IATA: KWG, ICAO: UKDR), north-west of the centre, saw occasional scheduled and charter flights before the war; since the closure of Ukrainian airspace in 2022, civilian operations have been suspended. Any resumption depends on the further course of the war. No air cargo is handled; Ukrainian shipments are currently routed via road feeder services to EU airports such as Rzeszów (IATA: RZE).
