Ryanair launches new flight from Ukraine's Kharkiv to Polish Krakow

On June 19, the first flight is expected to be carried out from Odesa.

Ukraine's Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan says Europe's largest discount carrier Ryanair performed its first flight from Ukraine's Kharkiv International Airport (the city of Kharkiv) to Poland's Krakow on June 17.

"Well well well, after Lviv and Kyiv became well-established parts of Ryanair's grid, and many people have begun to take that for granted (choosing to forget that this only started in 2018), Kharkiv's time has come. Today, the first Kharkiv-Krakow flight on Europe's No.1 low-cost airline successfully landed," he wrote on Facebook on Monday.

"On June 19, we await the arrival of Ryanair in Odesa," he added.

As UNIAN reported earlier, in late October, Ryanair intends to launch new flights from Kharkiv to the Polish city of Poznan, and from Ukraine's southern city of Odesa to Poznan and Gdansk. Now, the low-cost airline carries out flights from Kharkiv to Poznan, Krakow, and Vilnius (Lithuania), and from Odesa to Poznan, Krakow, Wroclaw, Katowice, and Berlin (Germany).
