On the day when the visa is introduced - June 11, the national air carrier sold promotional tickets to Brussels and Vilnius, offering its passengers a transfer and a free excursion. Tickets were bought in the first 9 minutes from the start of sales, according to the Main with reference to TSN.
Airline managers say that the company's servers barely survived the load. Every second, 600 visitors came to the site. For 9 minutes sold tickets to Brussels, a few minutes later - to Vilnius.
"This is a gift, of course, there is no commercial component, we said that we plan to contribute to the celebration of visa-free travel," - said the representative of the company.
This was the first such action, but not the last one. On the day of the introduction of the visa-free regime - on June 11, the air carrier will "throw out" 30,000 cheap tickets.
The only exception is Barcelona. It is this year in the Ukrainians and so incredibly popular, tickets for June have long been bought out or booked by travel agencies. The shares will end, but cheap tickets will remain, the company president Yury Miroshnikov convinces..
"Tickets will become cheaper, we will pray that the hryvnia will not be devalued.
We will do everything to make tickets cheaper. We did it 2 years ago. This year in early May, we made a "low-cost" price, "says Miroshnikov.
But Ukrainians who want to save should also learn how to plan their trips, well, at least a few months in advance, it's better for six months or even a year.
Well, everyone who buys a ticket the day before the flight, will pay a few dollars for those who took care of the flight in advance. It's just the way aviation works all over the world.
