A Boeing 737-73V of Sky Up company with over 70 people evacuated from China onboard, including foreigners, has landed in Boryspil airport on February 20 for fuel top-up, and after that, it will head for Kharkiv international airport, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry reported on Facebook.
“According to the reports of the crew and the medical support staff, everyone on board the aircraft is healthy and can continue to fly,” the report said.
As reported, three Ukrainians and one foreign woman were stopped by Chinese screening specialists from boarding a Ukrainian SkyUp Airlines plane in the Chinese city of Wuhan; these people are now in touch with the consular service, Ukrainian Deputy Health Minister Viktor Lyashko said, according to the Ukrainian government’s website.
Upon arrival, these people will be put under medical observation at a certain governmental facility, he said. Those, who were not cleared for evacuation, are under medical observation in China and are in touch with the consular service, he said.
Head of Kharkiv Regional State Administration Oleksiy Kucher said on February 20 that if even the plane from Wuhan lands in Kharkiv airport, evacuated people will not be accommodated in Kharkiv.
