That was reported by Eugene Dykhne, President of the company during a briefing, which took place on June 13 at the Boryspil International Airport:

We look very positively at the easing of restrictions for aviation by the Ukrainian government. But it is not enough just to remove the regulatory mechanisms regarding airlines and airports to carry out a tourist flight for passengers. We need the immigration regime of those countries, with which we rely on passenger traffic, to be eased specifically for Ukrainians. And so far, there is not single documentary proof that this has been done,” he said.

According to the airline timetable, three domestic destinations remain available, which UIA opened since June 12:

Kyiv-Odesa: June 12, 19, and 26. Odesa-Kyiv: June 14, 21, and 29.

Kyiv-Lviv: June 26. Lviv-Kyiv: June 29.

Kyiv-Kherson: June 19 and 26. Kherson-Kyiv: June 21 and 29.

And also 1 international – Kyiv-London, available from 5 July.

According to Dykhna, when opening the flights, the company will primarily focus on passengers who travel for touristic purposes:

“Today, all airlines in the world have ticket sales for future periods that go beyond quarantine. For example, we stopped our sales until July 1, although there were restrictions, and we understood that nothing would happen in aviation until July 1. We will now probably close all sales, most likely by August 1, to continue to schedule only those flights that we really can operate. We will choose these flights based on the travel opportunities for tourist passengers,” said UIA president.

How it was

Previously, UIA allowed to carry items up to 5 kg free of charge on board. A ladies’ or men’s bag, a camera or binoculars, a laptop or newspaper for reading, a shopping bag from Duty Free stores were included among them.

What have changed

Now all these items must be packed in the hand luggage of the appropriate dimensions. If you don’t take care of it, these items will be considered additional baggage, which you will have to pay for at the airport.

Extra space for hand luggage weighing up to 5 kg will cost 15 euros. Its maximum dimensions are 40 x 30 x 10 centimeters. It is assumed that luggage can be marked out in front of the passenger seat, so only one “slot” can be purchased for each passenger.

A complete list of new rules for carry-on baggage looks like this:

• Passengers who have purchased tickets that do not include baggage allowance will be able to take 1 piece of hand baggage weighing up to 7 kg and no more than 55 x 40 x 20 cm, as well as outerwear and an umbrella, on board the aircraft.
• Passengers who purchased tickets that include baggage transportation and premium economy class passengers can take 2 pieces of hand luggage with them: 1 piece weighing up to 7 kg and not larger than 55 x 40 x 20 cm and 1 piece weighing up to 5 kg and not dimensions more than 40 x 30 x 10 cm, as well as outerwear and an umbrella.
• Business class passengers will be able to carry 2 pieces of hand luggage: 1 piece up to 12 kg and no larger than 55 x 40 x 20 cm and 1 piece up to 5 kg and no more than 40 × 30 × 10 cm, as well as outerwear and umbrella.
• Passengers of business class long-haul flights will be able to carry 3 pieces of hand baggage: 2 pieces with a total weight of up to 15 kg and no more than 55 x 40 x 20 cm each and 1 piece weighing up to 5 kg and no more than 40 × 30 × 10 cm, and also outerwear and umbrella.

New standards do not apply to people with disabilities. They are allowed to carry a cane, a pair of crutches or walkers, as well as additional auxiliary equipment for free.
