Abstract
The article outlines the classification of airports, the role of secondary airports in the infrastructure of the country, understanding the need of the secondary airports' renewal. The aviation industry plays a crucial role in the development of economy of the country and international economic relations, as it generates incomes, job places, and opportunities for growth. Every country has both primary and secondary airports, regional (secondary) airports are a vital part of the aviation infrastructure. They are engines of local development and allow accessibility to certain locations, in particular those that are remote or not well served by other forms of transportation. They are enablers of free movement of people, goods and services, as well as of social and territorial cohesion. Furthermore, regional airports stimulate incoming tourism and employment, as well as facilitate access to essential services. They can also help to reduce congestion at major hub airports. Unfortunately, in Ukraine secondary airports are not cultivated enough, thus the air transportation is the neck place in most cases, but this situation may be solved with renewal of secondary airports' work, the importance of which is described in this article.
Highlights
Airport development has undergone a long history starting from simple airfields as sites and installations for take-offs and landings-on aircrafts up to complex contemporary mega-hubs providing a variety of services
The solution for the first couple of airports was the correct positioning in the market and their orientation to different niches of passenger traffic: Boryspil successfully implements the hub strategy, focusing on transit passenger traffic and a large base carrier, and Zhulyany focuses on low-cost carriers and business aviation

Summary
Airport development has undergone a long history starting from simple airfields as sites and installations for take-offs and landings-on aircrafts up to complex contemporary mega-hubs providing a variety of services. The solution for the first couple of airports was the correct positioning in the market and their orientation to different niches of passenger traffic: Boryspil successfully implements the hub strategy, focusing on transit passenger traffic and a large base carrier, and Zhulyany focuses on low-cost carriers and business aviation Such approach creates real competition for the main air gates of the country and has convergent effects. The solution for the second couple of airports was the presence of basic airlines - Dniproavia for Dnipro and Motor Sich for Zaporizhzhya, which generate a small but stable passenger traffic Their relatively small distance from each other makes it possible to cover the existing demand for air transportation in the region, since they are separate subjects in the intergovernmental agreements of Ukraine. The characteristics of the runways and RFFCs determine the technical and operational constraints in the development of an airport and, the need for additional investments
