Wizz Air Ukraine, the low fare - low cost airline in Ukraine announced during the airline’s Kiev-Odessa-Kiev demonstration flight that it intended to operate international routes to London Luton, Dortmund and Milan Bergamo from its Kiev base later this year.
The company will provide travel to many Ukrainian holidaymakers and millions of students and workers who live abroad and will now have the opportunity to travel back to Ukraine. The new flights are planned to start from 15 September and will complement the airline’s domestic network. The start of ticket sales for the international flights remains subject to regulatory approvals expected to take place in the course of July.
Wizz Air earlier announced that after obtaining the air operator’s certificate and operating licence it would launch domestic flights from as early as 11 July 2008. The airline’s domestic network consists of Kiev-Odessa, Kiev-Simferopol, Kiev-Lvov and Lvov-Simferopol routes. The initialy planned services to Kharkov and Zaporozhie will be temporariliy suspended due to airport slot constraints and higher passenger demand on other routes.
