Court voids illegal lease of the Kyiv Aviation Institute's hangar

The Northern Commercial Court of Appeals, acting on a lawsuit filed by the Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office, overturned the decision of the court of first instance, declared the lease agreement for a 191-square-meter training hangar at the National University “Kyiv Aviation Institute,” valued at 442,000 hryvnias, invalid, and ordered the private company to return the property to the university.

The investigation established that the Kyiv Regional Branch of the State Property Fund of Ukraine and the university had granted the company the right to use the training hangar as a warehouse for storing construction equipment and materials. This directly violates the Law of Ukraine “On Education,” which prohibits the use of state educational institutions’ property for purposes other than education. The appellate court’s decision has entered into legal force and is enforceable.

This was reported by the Kyiv City Prosecutor’s Office.

Previously, the Court of Appeals overturned an unlawful decision by the Bucha District Council, and the 3,000-hectare Bilychansky Forest was returned to the Kyiv community.

Additionally, after nearly five years of legal proceedings, a complex of historic buildings dating from 1830 to 1910, located in the historic part of Podil at the foot of Zamkova Hill, was returned to the Kyiv community.
