These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at airport.lviv.ua, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for LWO
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
LWO uses Europe/Kyiv (EEST, UTC+03:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Lviv International Airport is about 5.6 km from central Lviv; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
KRK Balice is the closest retained alternate at 300 km, time difference -1h.
When source checks matter
airport.lviv.ua is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place LWO inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
LWO ranks #1 in the curated Ukraine airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 3 airports.
