To Uzhgorod, Motor Sich now flies a 50-seater Antonov 24 turbojet on a twice-weekly route: Kyiv Sikorsky-Lviv-Uzhgorod. The flight from Kyiv takes three hours, but the alternatives are a 10-hour drive or a 14-hour train ride. Enabling restoration of air service after a three-year gap, the European Aviation Safety Agency certified in December that Uzhgorod airport fully complies with EU air safety standards. With the runway ending at the Slovak border, all takeoffs and landings pass through EU air space.
