Poroshenko has noted that negotiations are under way to host the carrier's support center in Ukraine.
"Too bad, the first flights will come as late as October. They have to buy planes for Ukraine flights, create infrastructure and services. But now we know for sure that it will happen," the president said.
Poroshenko said he had discussed with Ryanair the possibility of launching domestic flights.
"I asked our partners to analyze and create opportunities for the development of domestic flights. I also heard a positive response," he said.
