Russia’s sanctions are forcing UIA to suspend its flights from Kyiv to Astana until May. Russia’s ban on overflights by Ukrainian carriers forces Ukraine International Airlines to make a two hour southern detour to get to Kazakhstan’s capital. The airline also blames the cost of jet fuel, up 40% over last year. Air Astana flies three times a week from Boryspil to Astana, making the flight in 4 hours 30 minutes.
