The Ukrainian airline SkyUp Airlines has received permission to operate flights to the United States. Specifically, the airline has been granted the FAR129 certificate as a foreign air carrier, allowing it to operate flights in U.S. airspace. Four Boeing 737-800 aircraft in the airline's fleet that we submitted in the application have been cleared to fly in US airspace: UR-SQB, UR-SQC, UR-SQF, and UR-SQP.
"An important goal for the international development of the brand has been achieved. I am proud of the team, their professional approach, and their persistence in achieving results. Also, on behalf of the company, I express my sincere gratitude to the competent state structures of the United States for their trust and the opportunity to work in the United States," commented the general director of SkyUp Airlines, Dmytro Seroukhov.
After a temporary halt in operations in 2022, SkyUp Airlines resumed its services through a "wet lease" arrangement. This means that the airline provides its aircraft along with Ukrainian crews to other European companies. Currently, SkyUp Airlines operates flights to the following countries:
- Georgia
- Spain
- Italy
- Slovakia
- France
- Croatia
- United Arab Emirates (UAE)
- Czech Republic
- Austria
These destinations are part of the airline's flight network.
