Negotiations are also underway with three Ukrainian airlines.
Ukraine officially begins negotiations with the regulators of the USA and the European Union regarding the resumption of passenger air transport. Consultations are also taking place with the Civil Aviation Administration of Israel. It is noted that the Ukrainian side conveys to the regulators its vision of how the market will work under martial law, as well as its risk assessment, approaches and algorithms.
"There are not many examples in the world of airports operating where drones or missiles can arrive at any time. Israel is the most successful example. We have spent a lot of time and continue to consult with the Civil Aviation Administration of Israel," the vice-premier said. Minister for the Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure, Oleksandr Kubrakov, Minister of Reconstruction.
At the level of plans, there are different scenarios regarding the number of airports that can be opened in Ukraine.
Kubrakov added that there are already European airlines that are interested and want to be the first in the resumption of the Ukrainian air market, but he refused to name them. According to him, negotiations are also underway with three Ukrainian airlines.
We will remind you that TTS wrote that one of the civilian airports will probably be opened in Ukraine even before the end of the war. The head of the president's office, Andriy Yermak, announced this possibility during a speech at the Hudson Institute as part of his trip to the United States. In his speech, he did not name the airport and the specific time frame for its opening.
In September 2022, at that time, the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine, Oleksandr Kubrakov, stated that technically it would take up to two weeks to resume the operation of airports in Ukraine. But in practice, this will be possible only if there are security guarantees. The first airport that the Ministry of Infrastructure considered for resumption of operations was Lviv Airport.
