On Monday, July 10, the company announced the cancellation of previously scheduled flights. This happened after Kiev airport failed to comply with the agreement reached in the Ministry of Infrastructure with airport officials and the airport's current general director, Mr. Ryabikin, in March this year. As explained by the press service of the air carrier, Borispol airport sided with airlines with high tariffs, Including "International Airlines of Ukraine", and deprived Ukrainian passengers of access to cheap air tickets.
Thus, Ryanair has no choice but to cancel four new Kyiv routes and seven new Lviv routes, which will result in the loss of more than 500,000 passengers and 400 jobs, the company said, adding that Ryanair apologizes to customers who Already booked flights.
In turn, the chief commercial director of Ryanair David O'Brien promised to return all the money for tickets and stressed that the Kiev airport demonstrated that Ukraine is not yet a mature enough or reliable place for investment. He also expressed regret that because of Kiev suffered also the Lviv airport.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, Ryanair is pushing the airport "Borispol" a number of requirements.
