Kirovograd Airport (IATA: KGO, ICAO: UKKG) is a small airfield serving Kropyvnytskyi, the central Ukrainian city formerly called Kirovohrad. It sits a few kilometers north-east of the city center and has a single paved runway, with a history of limited regional, charter, and general aviation use rather than major scheduled airline service. The airport is often listed under its older Kirovograd/Kirovohrad name, while local transport and maps increasingly use Kropyvnytskyi.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to say Kropyvnytskyi, not Kirovograd, when giving the destination to drivers, and to use ICAO UKKG on aviation paperwork to avoid confusion with other Ukrainian airports.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis and ride-hailing are the most practical way to reach central Kropyvnytskyi, with a journey of about 10–15 minutes. Public transport is limited around the airport, so arrange a return ride or confirm local bus/marshrutka times in advance. If driving, allow extra time in winter and confirm the airport entrance, as signage may use the older Kirovohrad name.
