With SkyUp Airlines poised to boost domestic air travel this summer, trains can only compete by moving faster on the ground

With SkyUp Airlines poised to boost domestic air travel this summer, trains can only compete by moving faster on the ground, says Infrastructure Minister Volodomyr Omelyan. Looking five years ahead, he tells the Cabinet: “On the main transport corridors — Kyiv-Odesa, Kyiv-Lviv, Kyiv-Dnipo, and Kyiv-Kharkiv — the speeds of passenger trains must be at least 200-250 km / h, and freight – 100-120 km / h.”
