Dec 11, 2013 (newstodate): Ukraine International Airlines is now scheduling its long-awaited new Transatlantic flights.
Starting from April 25, 2014, the carrier will launch flights between Kiev and New York, offering two weekly rotations with Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
Plans are next to increase to four weekly flights from May 14, 2014, to six flights from June 12, 2014, and finally to daily flights from June 23 to September 30, 2014.
Facing the autumn and winter, the carrier will then go back to five weekly rotations from October 1, 2014.
Barred from setting up flights on new routes to the USA since Ukraine's downgrading to Category II in 2005, Ukraine International Airlines is now able to build up its intercontinental and not least Transatlantic flights after the country won back its Category I status from September 2013.
On December 7, 2013, the carrier also launched flights on its first non-stop long-haul scheduled service between route Kiev and Bangkok, now operated three times weekly with Boeing 767-300ER aircraft.
