The initial flight is scheduled to depart from Abu Dhabi International Airport on September 25, with twice weekly flights due to arrive in Abu Dhabi at 2030 hours on Mondays and Fridays, and depart the following morning at 0155 hours on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Ukraine International Airlines will operate a Boeing 737 aircraft for the flight configured in two product classes, business and economy, which is expected to take around five and a half hours in each direction.

The service forms one of the key components to build upon the already strong business links between the Ukraine and the UAE.

Other measures include the establishment of the Ukraine — UAE Business Council to facilitate trade and economic relations and realise the potential commercial opportunities between the two nations.
