Ryanair to launch 15 routes to Ukraine in October

Ryanair will begin flights to Ukraine from Oct 2018 with 10 new routes from the capital Kiev and 5 new routes from Lviv. The move comes after Ryanair walked away from previous plans to begin operating to and from Ukraine from Oct 2017, citing a disagreement with Kiev’s Boryspil International. It said in July 2017 that Kiev airport had chosen to protect high-fare airlines, including Ukraine International Airlines, and it was cancelling plans in the country because of the airport’s “failure to honour a growth agreement” reached in March 2017 with the ministry of infrastructure and airport officials. The dispute appears to have been resolved with Ryanair CE Michael O’Leary saying March 23: “Ryanair is pleased to announce that low fares have officially arrived in Ukraine, our 36th country of operation.” <br/>
