Information about KAI
The Kyiv Aviation Institute (KAI) is a state-owned higher education institution specializing in aviation and technical studies in the capital. In 2023, the university was reorganized and renamed from the National Aviation University to the State University “Kyiv Aviation Institute.” The institution is the successor to the NAU and trains specialists in the fields of aviation, aerospace technology, engineering, IT, cybersecurity, law, and economics.
During the reorganization, the university lost its national status. However, on February 6, the KAI regained its status.
As a result of the reorganization, the university is now headed by Ksenia Semenova, a member of the Servant of the People party in the Kyiv City Council.
