On Tuesday, Windrose Airlines started a daily flight between Kyiv Boryspil and Odesa. In May, the airline will fly this 80-minute hop three times a day. Next month, Windrose starts flights from Kyiv to four more Ukrainian cities: Dnipro, Kharkiv, Lviv, and Mykolaiv. In the fall, Ivano-Frankivsk and Kriviy Rih will be added to this Boryspil hub and spoke network. Aiming to carry 250,000 domestic passengers this year, Windrose is negotiating with Boryspil a domestic transfer area that would allow passengers to switch planes without repeating security checks. With eight ATR-72 commuter turboprops to join the Windrose fleet over the next year, the airline plans to increase passengers by 25%, to 1.8 million, Vladimir Kamenchuk, Windrose CEO tells the Center for Transportation Strategies.
