The sky over Ukraine remains open, the state is working to prevent risks for air carriers – a statement from the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine
Information about the closure of Ukraine’s airspace is not true. Closure of airspace is a sovereign right of Ukraine, no decision has been made.
Today the Ministry of Infrastructure held a working meeting with the participation of the leadership of the Office of the President of Ukraine, the State Aviation Service of Ukraine, UkSATSE, Boryspil International Airport and Ukrainian airlines on the situation in the air transportation market. As a result of the meeting, a solution was worked out to prevent further aggravation of the situation.
Most airlines continue to operate without any restrictions. In particular, currently 29 foreign airlines operate flights from 34 countries.
Some carriers have difficulty with fluctuations in insurance markets. For its part, the state is ready to support airlines and plans to provide additional financial guarantees to support the air market. International partners are currently being consulted and relevant government decisions are being prepared.
“Insurance services markets, as well as capital markets, are vulnerable to the information field. We expect that the situation will stabilize in the near future. To this end, the Government, the Office of the President and our international partners are working on joint solutions. If necessary, the state will ensure the return of all citizens of Ukraine from abroad, “commented Oleksandr Kubrakov, Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine.
