Jun 13, 2019 (newstodate): The new privately-owned Ukrainian charter and LCC carrier SkyUp Airlines has run into turbulence..
A Ukrainian district court has adopted a resolution suspending the carrier's licence to transport passengers citing systematically failing to fulfil its obligations to customers, flight delays, and lack of control over the implementation of aviation safety standards.
The carrier now fights back referring the court verdict to the Kiev Court of Appeal as the issues are only within the jurisdiction of the Ukraine's Ministry of Infrastructure and the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine.
So despite the court ruling, SkyUp Airlines continues its scheduled and other operations until the situation has been validated, and the carrier seemingly enjoys the full support of the ministry and the CAA.
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.
