In winter, the flights of the Group's airlines were operated only from Boryspil International Airport. Lufthansa performed flights to Frankfurt, Austrian Airlines to Vienna, and SWISS to Zurich.

On March 15, Lufthansa resumed Kyiv-Munich flights. It will also start performing Frankfurt-Lviv flights from April 30. The new direction will replace the previously existing Munich-Lviv connection.

Austrian Airlines on March 22 will relaunch the Vienna-Lviv line, and will resume flights from Vienna to Odesa from March 29.

"The Lufthansa Group believes in the speedy recovery of the Ukrainian market. There is demand for flights in both directions," says Rene Koinzack, Lufthansa Group's General Manager for Sales in Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia and Turkmenistan.

Especially, he says, the airlines observe the desire of travelers from other continents to fly to one of the three cities in Ukraine via the Lufthansa Group's hubs, he added.
