Our low fare – low cost business model on the backbone of a brand new Airbus A320 operation is spot on the demand of the Ukrainian travelling public for affordable, safe and comfortable travel. We are committed to further extending our route network to fly an ever increasing number of domestic and international destinations in the very near future.”
