Ukraine International Airlines, the nation’s largest carrier, boosted its passenger traffic last year by 15%, to 8 million passengers. On its scheduled flights, 53% of seats were occupied by transfer passengers. By developing its Boryspil base as an international transfer hub, UIA gives Kyiv residents more destinations and more frequencies than the local market can support. With a largely Boeing fleet of 42 jets, UIA has 88 destinations, including four cities added last year: Cairo, Copenhagen, Delhi and Toronto.
