AirlinePros will be responsible for managing the airline’s commercial affairs, including marketing and business development in Canada.

“We are extremely honoured that Ukraine International Airlines has expressed full confidence in all that AirlinePros can offer to support UIA’s online flight operations,” commented AirlinePros chairman and Founder James W. Foster. “Our experienced Canadian sales team, with their strong links and access to Canada’s travel industry members, will help ensure we provide the necessary commercial support towards the success of Ukraine International’s operations in Canada.”

Three weekly flights

UIA operates three times weekly flights, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, by wide body Boeing 767-300ER aircraft with three-class cabin configuration: Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class.

Flight duration from Toronto to Kiev is nine hours and 50 minutes, and the return journey is approximately 10 hours, 15 minutes.

AirlinePros Canada director Karl Müller said:

“This is an exciting moment, as not only Canada’s large VFR community now has direct access to the Ukraine, but PS’ extensive route network. Throughfares from across Canada use WestJet and Air Canada as Interline partners to connect via YYZ. UIA’s flights offer Canadian travellers direct access to the Ukraine capital Kiev, with easy onward connectivity to Ukraine International’s extensive route network across Asia, the Middle East, and Eurasia.”
