Apr 08, 2019 (newstodate): The privately-owned Ukrainian charter and LCC carrier SkyUp Airlines is adding new capacity to its aircraft fleet in 2019.
The carrier has just taken delivery of its fifth Boeing 737-800 aircraft, first serving with Sterling from 2004, and taken on a lease contract with Aviation Capital Group, and one more aircraft is due for delivery shortly.
In the fleet of SkyUp are thus now five Boeing 737-800 and one Boeing 737-700 aircraft, while orders have also been placed for four Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to arrive from 2023.
The carrier landed its AOC on May 16, 2018, and was granted TCO status from EASA in November 2018.
Plans are to grow the fleet to 10 aircraft in 2019, 12 in 2020, 14 in 2021 and up to 18 in 2022.
The airline is fully owned by Ukrainian capital, with 50 percent of the stake held by the two owners behind the country's leading tour operator JoinUp, Tatiana and Yuri Alba.
