The Irish airline Ryanair will need two months to resume flights to Ukraine, but only after the hostilities officially end.
This is reported by The Telegraph with reference to the director general of the airline, Michael O'Leary.
According to him, it will take from 4 to 6 weeks to resume flights.
"I really hope that this will happen this year. I think that one of the things that Trump will be able to do will be a quick resolution of the issue of russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine," O'Leary said.
Ryanair is ready to resume flights to Kyiv and Lviv, but only when the flights meet the requirements of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). First of all, an official cessation of hostilities is required. The director of the airline emphasized that it is necessary to be sure that "missiles will not fly there."
At the same time, the airline is not ready to resume flights to Odesa and Kherson. They believe that these cities have suffered too much from russian attacks.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the administration of Boryspil airport assures that they can resume operations at the airport quite quickly after the cessation of hostilities.
The resumption of operations at the Uzhhorod airport is not yet under discussion. It has been transferred to the responsibility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Ryanair previously planned to open 75 routes from Europe to Ukraine after the airspace was declared safe.
