New flights to Zagreb from Kiev New flights to Zagreb from Kiev

Direct flights between Zagreb and Kiev in the pipeline

Written by  Mar 24, 2018

Ukraine International Airlines is planning to launch flights between the Croatian capital and the Ukrainian capital in 2021. There aren’t any direct connections between Zagreb and Kiev and the news, which was announced at a press conference in Kiev, means that Croatia will have another tourism market in the future.

The airline was established on the 1st of October 1992 and started operations on 25 November 1992 with a Kiev to London flight. It was one of the first "joint ventures with foreign capital" in Ukraine and the first airline in the former Soviet Union to use new Boeing 737-400 aircraft. The founding shareholders were the Ukrainian Association of Civil Aviation and Guinness Peat Aviation (GPA), an Irish aircraft-leasing company. In 1996, Austrian Airlines and Swissair became shareholders, investing $9 million USD in new equity.

Croatia Airlines had planned, back in 2009, to open direct flights from Zagreb to Kiev but later decided that the route wasn’t financially viable.
