The Dutch airline KLM has reported that it will stop making flights to Ukraine. Now, Lufthansa and Austrian study what decision to make. However, 29 airlines are still operating on Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine has decided keep open airspace amid heightened tensions over a possible Russian attack, following a meeting of the Ukrainian Government with representatives of the Office of the President of Ukraine, the State Aviation Service of Ukraine, Borispol International Airport and Ukrainian airlines to look for a solution to avoid “aggravating” the situation.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Infrastructure has indicated that they are working to “prevent risks for air carriers.” It ensures that most airlines continue to operate without restrictions and that currently 29 foreign airlines operate flights from 34 countries to Ukraine.
However, the Dutch KLM reported on Saturday that it would stop flying to Ukraine, after “an exhaustive security analysis” and on the recommendation of the Dutch government. Now, the German Lufthansa and the Austrian Austrian they study avoid or not Ukrainian airspace.
Ukraine has recommended airlines not to fly over the Black Sea between now and February 19 as it is a “potentially dangerous area“. The Russian Black Sea Fleet is currently conducting exercises with more than 30 ships.
