The Chaika sports complex and airfield west of Kyiv has historically offered first-jump training and tandem parachuting; civil flights are not confirmed under martial law.
Chaika is a sports complex and airfield about 15 km west of central Kyiv that In Your Pocket and the Kyiv Post have listed for parachuting, including first-jump training and jumps from 4,200 metres; the listed phone number is +380 44 424 82 93. An older Kyiv Post guide put a professional training course at UAH 10,130 (USD 225) and tandem flights at UAH 1,150-1,500 (USD 26-33) at other drop zones such as Para-Skuf at Borodyanka. All of these are dated. Ukrainian civil airspace has been closed to recreational flying since the full-scale invasion in 2022, so skydiving at Chaika cannot be assumed to be available. Visitors should phone before any journey and treat the activity as unavailable until the operator confirms otherwise.
