Ukraine’s air traffic control agency will run out of money in two weeks, the agency, UkSATSE, warns on its Telegram channel. With air traffic and overflights down 90% since mid-March, the agency will need a $37 million loan or budgetary grant to get through the year. Last year, the controllers handled 335,400 flights, an 11.5% increase over 2018. After a normal January and February, air passenger traffic through Ukrainian airports ended up dropping 35.5% y-o-y for the first four months, to 4 million people.
