After the worst year in its 35-year history, the Irish low-cost airline Ryanair is resuming flights, including from Ukraine.
Ryanair, which reported a net loss of 850 million euros in 2020, will restart 18 of its scheduled routes from Ukraine starting March 28, aviation news website Avianews reported on March 15.
Thirteen will connect Kyiv Boryspil International Airport with London, Rome, Vienna, Berlin, Sofia, Vilnius, Bergamo and six Polish cities — Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Gdansk, Katowice and Wroclaw.
Europe’s largest carrier will also fly from Odesa to Berlin, Rome and Gdansk; and from the western Ukrainian city of Lviv to Bergamo and Rome.
Starting July 3, Ryanair will open two new routes. Twice a week, its planes will fly from Kyiv to Cologne in Germany, and from Odesa to Barcelona in Spain. A one-way ticket to Cologne starts at 28 euros and tickets to Barcelona start at 59 euros. These prices only include hand baggage.
The route to Barcelona is still pending approval from regulatory authorities, Ryanair’s booking system shows.
Ryanair will relaunch 37 other routes from Ukraine in May–July, including from Ukrainian cities Kherson and Kharkiv, according to Avianews.
Meanwhile, Ryanair seems to have suspended flights from Kyiv to the U.K.’s Manchester, from Kherson to Katowice, from Odesa to Athens and from Lviv to Budapest and the German city of Memmingen — tickets are not available for these destinations on the company’s website.
