Pent up demand for summer travel prompted Ukrainians to buy more overseas tours than charter companies have airplane seats

Pent up demand for summer travel prompted Ukrainians to buy more overseas tours than charter companies have airplane seats, Mikhail Titarchuk, Deputy Minister of Economic Development, writes on Facebook. Last weekend, hundreds of Ukrainians were stranded – some for a day – in airports from Spain to Tunisia to Albania to Georgia. Infrastructure Minister Omelyan blames the problem on tour companies. He says he will ask the Economy Ministry on Wednesday to take away the tour operator license from Oasis Travel.
