To develop domestic air travel in Ukraine

To develop domestic air travel in Ukraine, a nation 10% larger than France, Infrastructure Minister Omelyan is negotiating with several major foreign airlines to create local subsidiaries. Under Ukrainian law, an airline must have 51% Ukrainian ownership to perform domestic flights. In the past, airlines from Turkey have shown interest. Noting that only 5-7% of Ukrainians fly every year, Omelyan says: “I want this figure to be at least 50%, for at least 20-25 million Ukrainians to fly and use such services. It’s very easy to do.”
