Ryanair wants to be first to fly to Ukraine again
Budget carrier Ryanair says it wants to be first in line to fly to Ukraine again.
The airline has been planning for when a ceasefire eventually happens.
If that does transpire, Ryanair says it is able to quickly restart routes to Kyiv and Lviv.
We want to be the first airline back into Ukraine,” said Michael O’Leary.
It wants to fly from as many as 25 cities across Europe to Ukraine, including the UK.
Ukraine air travel effectively shut down overnight when Russia invaded nearly three years ago.
If a ceasefire can be agreed, Ryanair says it could set up airport bases within weeks.
“We have a plan to pivot five of our aircraft at bases all over Europe. We will cancel a route, say, from Stansted to the Canaries and we’ll send that aircraft instead to Lviv or Kyiv,” O’Leary the Independent.
“We have about 14 million Ukrainians dispersed all over Europe.
