A couple of decades later, however, the commercial services were shifted to an airbase in Lucko. The number of passengers grew touching the 1,67,000 mark in 1947. Service facilities and buildings for air traffic control were erected in the subsequent decades, and a dedicated technical base was set up before 1974- when the airport was reconstructed.
