Ukrainian airline SkyUp Airlines has announced a return to regular flights from spring 2025.
The company noted that all flights will be operated from Chisinau, as Ukraine's airports are not working due to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“Although we miss our Boryspil airport the most now, we are not launching regular flights from there. However, we are getting one step closer to home. And we will be the first to return to the peaceful sky,” the official statement reads.
SkyUp Airlines has planned routes to Spain, Greece, France, Cyprus, and Portugal.
The company also reported that passengers' funds that were kept on their accounts due to canceled flights remain valid and can be used for new travel.
Tickets for the flights are already available on the website.
SkyUp Airlines
SkyUp Airlines is a Ukrainian airline that operates a hybrid model, combining charter flights with regular low-cost flights.
The company was founded in December 2017, on the initiative of private investors, without the use of public funds. Its founders are Global Travel Holding LTD (UK) and ACS-Ukraine LLC.
The airline officially launched operations on May 21, 2018, with its first flight from Kyiv to Sharm el-Sheikh.
SkyUp received operator's certificates from the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine and the European Aviation Safety Agency, which allows it to fly to the EU and the European Free Trade Association.
In its first years of operation, the airline was ranked among the fastest-growing carriers in Europe by The Anker Report.
Earlier, it was reported that the first airport in Ukraine may be opened in January 2025.
Also in October 2024, Ukraine presented a roadmap for opening airspace under martial law.
