The signing took place during a delegation visit to Ukraine, attended by Austrian and Ukrainian officials. Julian Jäger, Vienna Airport’s joint CEO, emphasised the importance of assisting Ukraine’s aviation sector in preparing for post-war recovery.

The visit also included a business delegation from the Federation of Austrian Industries of Lower Austria, which engaged in high-level talks with Ukrainian leaders and signed multiple agreements to enhance economic cooperation. Delegates also visited Hostomel military airport, a key site in Ukraine’s 2022 defence efforts.
