Kharkiv International Airport (Osnova Airport) (IATA: HRK, ICAO:UKHH) is located in the city of Kharkov, Ukraine. It is the primary international airport serving Kharkov and its surrounding metropolitan area. Phone Number :+380800303803
Airport Overview
Kharkiv International Airport (Osnova Airport)(HRK;ICAO: UKHH)serves Kharkiv in north-eastern Ukraine. The airport is located south-east of the city centre at approximately 49.9247900°N, 36.2899900°E and operates in the UTC+02:00 time zone. It is a civil international airport with historical relevance to the Kharkiv metropolitan area and its industrial hinterland. However, the regional security environment has a direct impact on aviation availability. Our service team therefore treats routine civil cargo acceptance and scheduled flight planning as subject to current Ukrainian airspace restrictions, airport operating notices, security clearance and carrier confirmation. For shipments requiring delivery to Kharkiv, the practical planning focus is usually an approved neighbouring gateway followed by controlled road transport, rather than assuming direct uplift from the airport.

Key Highlights
Cargo Facilities & Services
Our platform does not represent any cargo facility, warehouse capacity or special-handling service as available without current written confirmation. Facility access and cargo acceptance may change rapidly because of security restrictions and operational suspension.
- Acceptance and screening: Any direct acceptance would require confirmation of cargo terminal access, security screening, handling windows, export-control procedures and the appointed ground handler.
- Temperature-controlled cargo: Cold-room availability, power supply, handling priority and permitted storage time must be verified before booking pharmaceuticals, biologics, food or other perishables.
- Dangerous goods: Acceptance depends on the carrier, route, aircraft availability, current security approval and complete IATA DGR documentation. No dangerous-goods booking should be treated as confirmed until written approval is received.
- Customs and bonded handling: The applicable customs office, export-control process, transit regime and bonded-storage option depend on the actual operating gateway and final route.
- Road delivery interface: For alternative-gateway solutions, our team coordinates airport release, border documentation, secure trucking, consignee appointment and proof of delivery as separate operational milestones.
Routes & Transit Times
- Direct uplift: Routine scheduled cargo service from Kharkiv International Airport (Osnova Airport) must not be assumed. Our team checks the latest airport, authority and carrier position before offering any direct routing.
- Alternative gateways: Depending on origin, commodity and security conditions, we may evaluate gateways in Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary or other approved locations, followed by road delivery toward Kharkiv. The usable option is determined case by case.
- Airline and forwarder connections: Cargo may move through an international hub under a master airway bill, house airway bill or combined air-road solution. Carrier acceptance, transfer rules and customs treatment must be confirmed before issuing final transit advice.
- Transit-time drivers: Border queues, security checks, customs inspection, road restrictions, weather, driver availability and changing operational notices can materially extend the total door-to-door time. Our quotations therefore use a confirmed routing and validity period rather than an unconditional airport transit promise.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Primary hinterland: Kharkiv city and the wider Kharkiv region, subject to security access, road availability and consignee operating status.
- Industrial and engineering supply chains: Time-sensitive machine parts, electrical components, automation equipment, tools and maintenance materials may require reliable air-road planning.
- Technology and commercial shipments: Electronics, telecommunications equipment, samples and high-value replacement parts need secure packing, accurate commodity descriptions and appropriate insurance review.
- Medical and relief-related cargo: Pharmaceuticals, medical devices and humanitarian goods require temperature, licensing, consignee and priority-handling checks before dispatch.
- Export cargo: Manufactured goods, spare parts and commercial samples may be routed through an alternative airport; export documents must identify the actual place of customs presentation and transport route.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off times: Do not use a standard airport cut-off for this location. The applicable deadline is set by the confirmed carrier, handling agent, gateway and road plan; our team obtains it after routing approval.
- Export and transit documents: Provide a commercial invoice, packing list, transport instructions, exporter and consignee details, customs data and any licences or permits required for the commodity and actual routing.
- Special cargo declarations: Lithium batteries, dangerous goods, temperature-sensitive products, live animals, military-related items and dual-use goods require early screening. Safety Data Sheets, DGD, permits or specialist certificates may be required.
- Security and final delivery: Cargo may be subject to enhanced security checks, customs examination, consignee verification and delivery-area restrictions. Our service team confirms the final-mile plan before cargo is tendered.
Shipping Tips
- Send the commodity description, HS code, dimensions, gross weight, package count, cargo value, pickup address and delivery postcode to our service team before requesting a rate.
- For urgent cargo, ask us to compare an alternative-gateway air-road plan with a road-only option where legally and operationally suitable. The lowest airfreight rate may not produce the shortest or most reliable door-to-door result.
- Use robust export packaging with clear package marks, shock and moisture protection where appropriate, and a packing list that matches the physical shipment exactly.
- Reserve additional planning time for customs review, border formalities, security screening and possible inspection. Temperature-sensitive cargo should include validated packaging and a documented temperature-handling plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can our company book routine international cargo directly from Kharkiv International Airport (Osnova Airport)?
Not without current confirmation. Our team first checks civil-airspace conditions, airport operating status, security requirements, carrier acceptance and ground-handling availability. Where direct uplift is not approved, we propose an alternative gateway and controlled onward transport.
Which routing is normally considered for urgent deliveries to Kharkiv?
There is no single permanent routing. We compare available international gateways, airline capacity, customs treatment, road-security conditions, border congestion and the consignee's delivery requirements before selecting a solution.
Can dangerous goods or lithium batteries be shipped to the Kharkiv area?
Potentially, but only after commodity classification, packaging, labelling, documentation and route acceptance are completed. The carrier and actual gateway may impose restrictions beyond standard IATA DGR requirements.
How should temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals be planned?
Provide the required temperature range, packaging qualification, monitoring method, shelf-life constraints and emergency contact in advance. Our team verifies cold-chain capability at every handover and avoids quoting storage or transfer times that have not been confirmed.
What information is needed for a reliable quotation?
We need the origin, final delivery address, commodity, HS code, weight and dimensions, package count, cargo value, ready date, special-handling requirements and any import or export permits. The quotation must identify the approved gateway and its validity period.
Data Sources & Provenance
Airport identity, codes, coordinates, city, country and time-zone fields in this module are based on the supplied airport record. Operational statements are deliberately limited to planning guidance and should be revalidated before each shipment.
For current civil-aviation regulations, airspace notices and authority-level operating information, our team cross-checks applicable information from the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine at avia.gov.ua, together with relevant carrier, airport and handling-agent confirmations.
International air-cargo standards and carrier-facing regulatory references may also be checked against iata.org and icao.int. No unverified throughput, warehouse-area, flight-frequency, handling-capacity, rate or transit-time figures are presented here.
