As previously reported, in November 2011 the UIA has suspended the flights on the route "Kharkiv - Kiev (Borispol) - Kharkiv" in connection with the reconstruction works of the International airport "Kharkiv” complex and the inability to perform the maneuvers by such large aircrafts as the aircrafts of the UIA fleet ("Boeing-737" and AN-148). During few months an authorized air carrier on this route was the company "Aerosvit" and the flights were served by the company "Dniproavia" in accordance with a signed agreement. The flights were carried out daily, 3 times a day by the aircrafts SAAB-340 and Embraer-145.
The UIA will carry out the flights in partnership with the airlines "Aerosvit" and "Antonov Airlines” every day 3 times a day on the aircrafts "AN-148" and “Boeing-737" with two classes of service - business and economy class. The cost of the tickets will remain the same.
Reference
The International airport "Kharkiv” (http://hrk.aero/) is one of the key objects of the capital of Slobozhanshchina that are currently under reconstruction within the preparation for the finals of European Football Championship in 2012. The large-scale project started on April 1, 2008, when the company "New Systems AM" (a DCH group, the owner is a well-known Ukrainian businessman, the general investor and coordinator of the Kharkiv's preparations for Euro 2012, the president of FC "Metalist", Aleksander Yaroslavskiy) won the competition for the long-term rent of the integral property complex of Kharkiv airport.
The reconstruction of the International airport "Kharkiv" is being held in the format of the private-state partnership. The total investment in the project by Aleksander Yaroslavskiy is $ 107.2 million (the airport complex and the surrounding area). The amount of funding allocated from the State budget for the reconstruction of the airport complex (including the construction of the airfield control tower) is $ 191.3 million.
