The commission of the State Aviation Service of Ukraine for considering issues regarding permits for air routes decided to recommend that the acting service head should revoked the flight permits of a number of Ukrainian airlines at a meeting on Sept. 30.

According to an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent, the commission decided to recommend revoking the permits of Aero-Charter LLC to operate regular flights on the Kyiv-Luxembourg, Kyiv-Vilnius, and Kyiv-Leipzig routes.

It also recommended that Aviatrans K has its permits for regular flights from Lviv, Odesa and Kharkiv to Athens and from Lviv to Munich revoked, as well as for PJSC Motor Sich for regular passenger air service on the Kyiv-Ankara, Berdiansk-Moscow, and Simferopol-Ankara-Kyiv routes.

In addition, the commission recommended permits issued to Dniproavia for regular flights from Kharkiv to Baku, Batumi, Tbilisi, and Yerevan should be revoked.

Initially, the agenda of the commission’s meeting included the issue of cancelling permits to UTair-Ukraine for flights from Kyiv and Lviv to Moscow, however the commission recommended against revoking these permits (previously it was reported that Russia’s UTair and its Ukrainian subsidiary UTair-Ukraine did not fall under sanctions from both sides.).

The commission also recommended cancelling the permit of Urga for flights from Kyiv to Chernivtsi.
