Kharkiv Airlines, a member of Aleksandr Yaroslavskiy’s DCH Group, is steadily developing its route network. Starting from November 19, 2013, the airline will operate direct non-stop flights on Kyiv-Phuket-Kyiv route in cooperation with tour operator Pegas Touristik during the whole winter season.
The scheduled departure time from Kyiv is 23:20; arrival time in Phuket is 14:20. The flight schedule is thoughtfully planned to make the trip as comfortable as possible. The type of the aircraft is also important: flights to Phuket will be operated on a comfortable long-range aircraft Boeing 767. Passengers can choose their preferred class of service – business or economy. The plane’s cabin is equipped with a multimedia system which allows watching various video programs and films, while comfortable seats and distance between rows make the long-haul flights easy and enjoyable.
Business-class passengers can expect full service required by this category, including service in airports’ business lounges, improved on-board service and also a broad selection of drinks from Sky Bar menu.
It is also worth mentioning that a Kharkiv Airlines call-center started working from the beginning of November. You can now get all the airline-related information (flights, baggage allowance, extra services, etc.) by calling the 24/7 line at +380 (44) 364 16 77.
“Our company keeps opening new long-haul destinations, thus offering passengers comfortable travel without stops at transit airports. Phuket will become one of those destinations,” said the Chairman of the Board of Kharkiv Airlines Nikolai Nikitenko, “It should be mentioned that direct flights to one of the most popular Thai resorts will be operated for the first time in the history of Ukrainian aviation. We are genuinely proud that it is Kharkiv Airlines which will be the pioneer of this potentially popular destination for Ukrainian tourists.”
Kyiv-Phuket-Kyiv is the third of the airline’s long-haul flights after Bangkok and Goa. There are plans to open new charter flights to Nha Trang (Vietnam) and Punta Cana (the Dominican Republic). Thus, the long-haul route network of Kharkiv Airlines will become the largest among other Ukrainian airlines which are currently operating flights.
