If you are looking to fly to Europe from Ukraine, or to Ukraine from a European destination, look no further than Ukraine International Airlines.
Ukraine International offers 300 scheduled flights per week across the globe and more direct European services than any other domestic airline. And while the Ukrainian carrier offers big services, flights are competitive.
That’s not bad for a young Ukrainian passenger airline. And while Ukraine International has less than 20 years under its belt, business has been booming, with passenger traffic rising about a quarter annually to fit growing demand by businesses and tourists travelling to and from Ukraine.
The airline has built up a large fleet of comfortable and reliable Boeing aircraft of various sizes. Where Ukraine International’s own fleet can’t take you, its partners will. Ukraine International cooperates with airlines worldwide via 126 interline agreements. It has more than 40 representative offices in Ukraine and abroad.
So what’s the formula for success at Ukraine International? Well, you might say this closed joint stock company founded in 1992 has the perfect mix of domestic and western management as well as investment.
While the airline is 62 percent state-owned, Austrian Airlines holds a 23 percent stake. Smaller but equally important investors have played a big role in ensuring service is top quality: the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development with nearly 10 percent, and AerCap with 6 percent.
With Ukraine International, passengers know they will fly safe, at the right price and arrive on time.
