Danish second largest airport changes 'Kiev' to 'Kyiv'

Denmark's second largest airport, Billund, has started using the correct name for the Ukrainian capital in Latin – "Kyiv" instead of "Kiev."

Censor.NET reports citing Facebook post of the Ukrainian Embassy in Denmark.

This is stated in a letter from the airport director to Ukraine's Ambassador to Denmark Mykhailo Vydoinyk.

"Being an international airport it is our general policy to use the English versions of city names. On our departure boards, for instance, it says "Copenhagen" instead of "København." It was a simple mistake that we didn't use the English "Kyiv," when first addressing the new route to your capital city. This has now been corrected," reads the airport's response to the Ukrainian ambassador.
