Ukrainian airlines (the list will be presented in the article) weekly carry out a huge number of regular flights to all continents. Carriers are constantly evolving to make passengers feel comfortable and cared for.

How many airlines are registered in the country?

As of June 1, 2016, 77 airlines were registered in Ukraine. If we analyze the list, then not all legal entities are Ukrainian airlines. The list includes educational institutions (State Flight Academy of Ukraine in the city of Kirovograd), state enterprises from the aircraft industry (GP Antonov, JSC Motor Sich), flight clubs that do not operate regular flights (Kharkov flying club named after Grizodubova). About 10 companies actually transport passengers. The largest airlines in Ukraine are Ukraine International Airlines, Aerosvit and Dniproavia.

UIA flights

This carrier operates both international and domestic flights in Ukraine. The company delivers passengers from Kyiv (Borispol airport) toIvano-Frankivsk, Lvov, Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, Kharkov). Flights to these cities are operated almost daily 2-3 times. Air travel has one big advantage over traveling by train or bus - speed. The fact is that the average duration of a flight to each of the cities of the country does not exceed 70-80 minutes, and a trip by land transport will take at least 7-8 hours, or even more. The flight will cost the passenger, of course, several times more, but this is not a factor for those people who care not about price, but about comfort and efficiency.

The UIA-Ukraine airline has organized flights to all continents. The most popular destinations among passengers today are Kyiv-Western Europe, Kyiv-Middle East and Kyiv-CIS. The company is constantly developing. For example, in 2013 new flights were introduced to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Athens, Baku, Vilnius, Warsaw, Nizhnevartovsk, Yekaterinburg, Munich, Novosibirsk, Rostov, Sochi. From Boryspil direct flights can be reached in almost every European capital. In addition, UIA operates a number of routes to the largest hub airports in the world to transfer passengers to other flights.

Dniproavia Airlines

The carrier from Dnepropetrovsk is currently considered the second largest flight company in the country. At the beginning of 2013, the company went through difficult times when all scheduled flights were closed, but as the situation improved, flights gradually resumed. First, the Dniproavia company returned to the transport market twodomestic flights: Dnepropetrovsk-Borispol and Borispol-Ivano-Frankivsk. The airliners made their first flights on these routes on February 7, 2013. Gradually, the company was again able to expand the geography of its flights. A year later, in 2014, Dniproavia flights could reach Dubai, Yerevan, Baku, Batumi, Moscow, Tbilisi, Vienna, Istanbul.

Liquidated airlines of Ukraine (list)

Today, air transportation is not a very profitable business, because plane tickets are expensive and not all citizens of Ukraine are able to pay for the flight. Therefore, only a few airports are enough for the country, which will provide flights abroad and a certain number of domestic flights. In recent years, several airlines have been liquidated in Ukraine:

"Lviv Airlines";
"Ukraine Airlines";
"Wizz Air Ukraine";
"Aerosvit".

Of course, this is not a complete list of liquidated Ukrainian airlines.

Lviv Airlines was founded in 1993. It was a regional airline based in Lviv. Due to the unprofitability of flights in 2011, the company withdrew from the air transportation market.

Wizz Air AirlinesUkraine as a subsidiary of the Hungarian carrier existed from 2008 to 2015. It was liquidated due to administrative restructuring in the parent company.

The Aerosvit company has been operating in the passenger air transportation market for quite a long time (from 1994 to 2012). The reason for the termination of activities was bankruptcy. Almost for this reason, the state company "Ukrainian Airlines" also stopped working.

Today, the air transportation market in Ukraine is in a state of deep crisis, so the number of carriers is rapidly decreasing. Ukrainian airlines (listed above), despite the difficult situation, are trying to develop and offer their customers the best flight conditions.
