Some flights of Kyiv-based AeroSvit Airline were delayed on Monday due to a protest by pilots of the airline's Boeing 737 aircraft.
Assistant AeroSvit Director for public relations, Serhiy Kutsy told Interfax-Ukraine that flights to Kyiv from Moscow, Hamburg, Athens and Odesa were delayed.
He said that pilots are demanding the indexation of payments over the 2008-2009 financial crisis period and the payment of wages under a new regulation that increases wages by 18%.
"A compromise has been reached: flights that arrive to the Boryspil airport are being carried out. Now some documents are being drawn up for signing and work with banks to make the payments is being done," he said.
CJSC AeroSvit was established in 1994. Its fleet consists of 16 medium-range Boeing 737s and seven long-haul Boeing 767s. In addition to that, it operates Airbus 320, Airbus 321, Embraer 145, Embraer 195 and An-148 aircraft jointly with partner airlines.
According to AeroSvit, Dutch-based Gilward Investments B.V. owns about 38% of the stocks in the company, the State Property Fund has a 22.4% stake, and the Ukrainian companies GenAviaInvest, Investment Advisors Group and Bureau hold 24.99%, 9.8% and 4.8% of the airline’s shares respectively.
