As was reported, UIA has recently refuted reports in the press that
the Privat Group or its affiliated structures have become shareholder in
the airlines.
“The mass media recently spread rumors about alleged changes in the
structure of UIA’s shareholders, triggered by the continued deepening of
cooperation between the UIA and AeroSvit,” reads a press release from
UIA.
Due to this, UIA states that such information is untrue, and notes
that UIA retains its former structure of shareholders, which has existed
since the completion of the company privatization in 2011, as well as a
stable management and supervisory council staff.
