Ukraine is contemplating the resumption of air traffic from its capital, Kiev, and the western city of Lviv, as revealed by Rostyslav Shurma, the deputy head of the presidential office. This consideration comes after Ukraine had closed its airspace for civilian aircraft on February 24, 2022, the day Russia initiated its war against Kiev.
"We are working very intensively to restore air traffic in Ukraine... We will definitely do our utmost to implement this," stated Shurma. He emphasized the fundamental importance of air traffic to Ukraine's business and investment activities. However, no specific timeline was provided for lifting the restrictions on flights in Ukrainian airspace.
Shurma highlighted that the renewal of air traffic over Ukraine would hinge on the country's capability to ensure the physical safety of flights, as well as decisions from international partners, independent regulators, and insurance companies. The process involves careful considerations and coordination to ensure the safe and effective resumption of air travel in Ukrainian airspace.
