Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) has updated its plans and schedule for non-stop wide-body flights between Kyiv & New York. UIA is planning to resume flights as the Spring season takes hold in both cities. Plans include flights in time for the Easter holidays in 2021.
Numerous factors have
to be considered when planning these flights, and the determination is a fluid
matter, understanding the worldwide corona pandemic, governmental decisions
regarding the opening of borders and the general economic situation around the
world.
Understanding that
many factors are beyond the control of UIA, and that the planning of long-haul
flights is determined months of advance, UIA will make the determination on the
number of non-stop flights and the final schedule later this year.
UIA will closely
monitor the economic recovery in the US and Ukraine as well as the global
responses to the CoVid pandemic by the governments of these countries and
Israel, and other European countries. Additional factors that will be given
consideration include the political situation in the Caucasus, which has
recently led to the cancellation of UIA flights to Yerevan, Baku and Tbilisi,
connecting flights important to the success of New York – Kyiv route. The
combination of these many factors, will impact how UIA will move forward for
these flights.
