Ukraine adds more Abu Dhabi flights

Ukraine International Airlines' (UIA) has begun additional weekly services between Abu Dhabi and Kiev, with the carrier now flying five times per week.

Less than five months after launching the route in September 2009, the airline adds two more flights per week as a result of the high demand on the route, driven mostly by tourism, the bilateral trade between the countries and the code-share agreement with Eithad. The Kiev-Abu Dhabi route is currently served by a Boeing 737 with a business and economy class configuration.

“A lot of work and analysis was done between Ukraine International Airlines and ADAC when launching this new route; but, even so, we have been encouraged by the growing demand. We are delighted to be adding to this route’s frequencies after only a short time from the initial launch and look forward to welcoming many more on board with the new five-weekly service,” said the President of Ukraine International Airlines, Yuri Miroshnikov.
