With four discount airlines vying for passengers – Ryanair, Wizz Air, Italy’s Ernest Airlines, and now Ukraine’s SkyUp — Ukraine International Airlines, the national flag carrier, warns there will not be enough passengers to fill planes next year. Through September, UIA has carried 6 million passengers, but half were in transit through Boryspil. Sergei Fomenko, UIA’s vice president for sales, tells Interfax-Ukraine that most Ukrainians prefers charters which include hotels. He said: “There is still a small category of tourists who plan their travels on their own. But so far, there are few of them, because even with the opportunity to find a cheap flight, it is sometimes difficult to find cheap housing and food in Europe.”
