You're reading: AeroSvit to restart Kyiv-Lviv flights on Dec. 7 after repayment of debts

Kyiv-based AeroSvit airlines is to restart flights between Kyiv and Lviv on December 7, 2012, the company told Interfax-Ukraine.

“Part of the delayed payments [owed to Lviv Airport] has been transferred today. The remaining sum will be repaid tomorrow. We plan to restart flights to Lviv on the same day,” a spokesman for the airlines told Interfax-Ukraine.

According to the source, passengers on Thursday were flown by other airlines.

As was reported, Lviv International Airport on December 6, 2012, suspended the servicing of AeroSvit’s flights in connection with the company’s failure to fulfill its financial obligations. The sum of the airline’s debt to the airport has not been disclosed.

Presently, Lviv Airport services flights of four Ukrainian and 13 international airlines.

In connection with the Moscow-based Sheremetyevo Airport’s plans to suspend the servicing of AeroSvit’s flights, the airlines reported earlier this week that it was restoring the schedule of payments on its obligations, which has been impaired due to delays in revenues to its accounts.

The company explained that because of the delay in payments to the company’s account, it impaired the schedule of payments for air navigation services at some airports, due to which a number of flights have recently been delayed.

Now the company is gradually resuming payments within the schedule agreed with its partners, and in particular, it has made payments for the services rendered.
