AeroSvit, which in late 2012 initiated a case on its bankruptcy, from February will suspend flights on medium-haul and regional routes, and plans from April to resume regular long-haul flights on the Kyiv-New York-Kyiv route, the air carrier reported on Thursday.
“Before the summer season, AeroSvit will perform separate flights to New York, Beijing and Bangkok, taking into account the load and the need to transport passengers,” said the company.
The Kyiv-New York-Kyiv flight in April-May will be performed four times a week, with the following increase in the frequency of flights to daily in the peak summer season. The sale of tickets for the flight has started.
“The allocation of transportation on the Kyiv-Beijing-Kyiv and Kyiv-Bangkok-Kyiv routes will be opened immediately after the flight schedule on these routes is approved,” said AeroSvit.
The company also reported it plans in February and March prepare its fleet operating on long-haul routes for heavy use in summer, including upgrading the interior, the reconfiguration of salons of some aircraft, and the completion of planned work on maintaining Boeing 767 aircraft.
The carrier added that it has returned one Boeing 767 plane to the leasing company.
