Apr 26, 2018 (newstodate): Starting from April 25, 2018, Ukraine International Airlines is back on the route from Kiev to Copenhagen.
The carrier has opened the route in style with no less than nine weekly rotations using a mix of Boeing 737-800 and Embraer E190 aircraft- and even plans for adding a 10th rotation from June 7, 2018, to cater to the expected rise in summer traffic.
Besides serving the demand for point-to-point traffic, UIA also offers smooth transfer via Kiev Boryspil Airport to its route network comprising long-haul flights to Beijing, Bangkok, Colombo, and Delhi.
Ukraine International Airlines earlier served the route to Copenhagen, but pulled out from the late 90'ies due to low demand in the market.
At that time, the carrier marketed the route as a point-to-point service only, while aiming now at the long-haul traffic segment with serviced via Kiev.
In February 2018, the carrier received the first of four Boeing 777-200ER aircraft that will gradually replace the current fleet of four Boeing 767-300ER aircraft, two of which were actually earlier operated by SAS.
