Jun 08, 2023 (newstodate): 2024 may see the Ukrainian carrier SkyUp Airlines launching flights on a new intra-European route network.
   The carrier has established SkyUp MT in Malta with own AOC and so far one Boeing 737-800 aircraft, granting it full access to charter and ACMI operations across the EU.
   SkyUp MT's first operation was performed on May 9, 2023, serving the Estonian/German carrier Malibu.
   SkyUp now plans for opening up for summer 2024-bookings on routes to be presented already by the end of this summer schedule, aiming at launch of services from the start of summer 2024.
   Plans are also to grow SkyUp MT's fleet to five or six aircraft before the end of 2023, in place for the coming new schedule.
   As one first scheduled service, SkyUp MT is to launch flights between Vilnius and Dubai already from September 2023, offering healthy competition in the Baltic markets to the Latvian carrier airBaltic that launched services between Riga and Dubai on September 27, 2021.
   The new service will be offered three times weekly from September 1, 2023, with the Maltese company's Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
