Ukraine International Airlines (UIA, Kyiv) and KLM (the Netherlands), one of the largest European airlines, from March 25, 2012 will launch a new joint timetable, according to the press service of UIA.
Before Euro 2012 the number of flights between Kyiv and Amsterdam will increase significantly, and code sharing agreements will be extended to a number of flights in Ukraine and Europe.
Thus, the number of flights on the Kyiv-Amsterdam-Kyiv route from March 25 will grow from 14 to 21 per week.
From June a fourth flight per day will be added to the schedule on this route, and their total number will amount to 26 per week.
The extended code sharing agreements of UIA and KLM will include both UIA’s internal flights to Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv, Odesa and Simferopol and those of KLM from Amsterdam to Birmingham, Edinburgh, Manchester and London.
UIA was founded in 1992. It was reorganized into private joint-stock company Ukraine International Airlines in 2010. The company has 20 Boeing 737 aircraft of various models, one Fokker 50 and one An-148 regional jet. Its main airport is Kyiv’s Boryspil International Airport.
The shareholders in UIA are UIA Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH (58.6%), UIA Holding GmbH (25.84%), and Capital Investment Project (15.55%).
