Ukraine's Infrastructure Minister does not see serious reasons to delay the appointment of director general of the Boryspil International Airport (Kyiv), the largest airport of the country, Minister Volodymyr Omelyan said at a meeting with journalists in Kyiv late on Wednesday.

"We have a strange situation: someone is bargaining with another person, not me. My bargaining was that I announced the public conditions of work to all candidates to the post. Everyone said that they agree. We registered all documents. Riabikin passed all procedures, but he has not yet been appointed. I expected that it would be today at the government meeting, but it did not happen," the minister said.

As reported, in December the government's committee selected former deputy transport minister of Ukraine Pavlo Riabikin as candidate for the post of director general of Boryspil International Airport state-run enterprise

Riabikin has 29 years of professional experience, in particular, at Express Avia, Partners housing company LLC and Zeleny Port recreation center LLC.

Riabikin was lawmaker in the parliament of the third convocation, and was deputy transport and communications minister in 2005-2006. Since 2014, he has been working at Kyiv City Administration in charge of infrastructure and transport construction.

Boryspil airport services over 68% of passenger transportation in Ukraine. It is the only airport in the country servicing long-haul flights. Over 50 airlines fly from the airport on more than 100 routes worldwide.
