Jan 17, 2023 (newstodate): A new cargo airline in Ukraine is planning to launch business later this spring, 2023.
Established by the Ukrainian postal company Nova Poshta, Supernova has now obtained its AOC as the first Ukrainian carrier in wartime, and plans are to launch cargo and postal flights from airports closest to Ukraine pending the time when operations at Ukrainian international airports Boryspil and Lviv are again feasible as peace returns.
For a start, the carrier has leased two AN-26 cargo aircraft, earlier targeting the lease of two Boeing 757-200F aircraft.
The airline company was registered on October 1, 2021, aiming at operating scheduled routes to the USA and China.
For a start, the route network will however comprise destinations in the Middle East and Europe, and Nova Poshta has already opened an own office in Warsaw, Poland, earlier this year.
Managing the airline as CEO is Yaroslav Krasnozhon, formerly serving with the Turkish-owned Atlasjet Ukraine.
