Feb 15, 2022 (newstodate): Ukraine International Airlines is struggling to keep its schedule running as planned.
   The carrier is thus operating 16 narrow-body aircraft to keep the route network open.
   However, the carrier has received an official notification from insurance companies terminating the insurance of aircraft for flights in the airspace of Ukraine.  
   At the request of lessors, UIA is therefore sending five  Boeing 737-800 aircraft to Spain for temporary storage, while retaining other aircraft in the company's fleet.  
   Also, two aircraft have been sent for scheduled engine maintenance in Belgrade.
   Similarly, the Ukrainian LCC Sky Up Airlines has received requests from aircraft lessors to return its leased aircraft to the EU as soon as possible.
   Some of Sky Up's Boeing 737 aircraft have thus now been parked at Estonia's Tallinn Airport in the care of Magnetic.
   To back up the country's airlines, the Ukrainian government has allocated US$592 million to calm the nerves of the insurers and airlines as the security situation in the country worsens.
