Ukrainian airline SkyUp has added another Boeing 737-800 to its fleet. The aircraft, manufactured in May 2010, has been leased and registered under the Ukrainian registration UR-SQN, according to the company's press service.
"Fleet expansion is another step in strengthening SkyUp Airlines' position. It allows us to improve efficiency, increase transportation capacity, and, importantly, support Ukrainian aviation. The new aircraft will take to the skies with the Ukrainian flag on its wings, which holds special value for us," said the airline's CEO, Dmytro Seroikhov. SkyUp Airlines already operates Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737-700.
SkyUp Airlines™ fleet consists of Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737-700 aircraft, so adding another aircraft of this type aligns with the airline's current development strategy.
After undergoing technical maintenance, during which SkyUp Airlines™ will update the cabin by installing modern ergonomic seats from the Italian manufacturer Geven, this model will have 189 seats, making it optimal for planned flights. It will combine capacity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
Additionally, immediately after receiving the aircraft, it will be repainted in the airline's signature livery during the spring of 2025. According to preliminary plans, the aircraft will begin operations no earlier than June 2025.
SkyUp Airlines™ is an international carrier with Ukrainian roots, successfully operating for over six years. It has established itself as one of the fastest-growing aviation brands in Europe. In 2023, the airline received a Maltese license, allowing it to operate flights within European airspace. Currently, the airline’s main services are ACMI and charter flights. Starting in April 2025, SkyUp™ will launch a regular flight program connecting Chișinău with popular European cities, including destinations in France, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus, and Greece.
