Ukraine International Airlines passenger traffic increased by 61%.

 During the January-December 2021 period, the passenger traffic of UIA was 2.79 million passengers, which is 61% more than in the same period in 2020. Out of the total number of passengers, 1.58 million passengers used charter flights, which is almost 1 million more than in 2020 (595,000 people), and 1.2 million passengers used regular flights, which was similar to 2020 (1.13 million). In total, in 2021, the airline was responsible for 20,657 flights, which is 45% more than in 2020. The transformation and optimization of UIA’s operations in 2020-2021 led to an apparent reversal of a trend toward declining numbers, even in a time of crisis, and was made possible by significantly reducing costs, reported UIA.
