Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline, starts flying in June to Kharkiv and Odesa, expanding from its current Ukraine destinations – Kyiv Boryspil and Lviv. The expansion is cautious, catering to Poland-bound workers and students, launching flights to Krakow from Kharkiv and Odesa in mid-June. In response, discount rival Wizz Air immediately moved up the launch of its Kharkiv-Krakow flight by two months, to August 2. In October, Ryanair launches flights from Odesa to Wroclaw, Poland and from Kharkiv to Vilnius, Lithuania.
