Aerosvit angers customers with bad service, delays

Print version
July 12, 2012, 10:35 p.m. | Business — by Svitlana Tuchynska

Passengers started noticing unexplained delays, flight cancellations and below-par service from Aerosvit, one of Ukraine’s two leading passenger airline carriers, weeks before the Euro 2012 games kicked off on June 8. The tournament ended July 1. Airline officials have pinned the delays on slower than expected arrival of new airplane. But they have not provided numbers for how many flights were delayed and cancelled during this period.

Poland puts up statues to US President Reagan and Pope JP2 who rent the Evil Empire's Iron "Curtain in the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth shook, rocks were split open". Matthew 27:51 International Standard Version

Ukraine protects statues of Lenin and Stalin denying the Holodomor rent the veil of Rus' temple "in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent". Matthew 27:51 King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)

And you question why Ukraine can't fly the heavens?

One of the reasons is that Aerosvit does not pay landing fees and is not allowed to many airports. Same for aircrafts. They did not get them because they did not pay for them. No free rides Mr. Kolomoysky.
Mr Kolomoysky has a plan. Buy all the airlines in the world and bunkrupt them and make Aerosvit a global carrier. In order to make a bisness in civilised countries you need brain not a pile of crap.
But in Europe we love you oligarchs Who else would pay for assets 10 times their value.
