Windrose Airlines plans to start daily fights between Kyiv Boryspil and Uzhgorod in November, Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krikliy announced Friday. Krikliy signed a Slovakiia-Ukraine treaty allowing normal functioning of Zakarpattia’s lone commercial airport. Through the end of next year, $3 million of investments are planned, notably a new runway lighting system. On a visit to the aiport on Friday, President Zelenskiy said: “Uzhgorod can be 100% sure that everything will be done here as it should.” Windrose is expected to use on the route one of its four new ATR 72-600 regional turboprops, planes capable of doing the 630 km flight in 90 minutes.
