Rules of conduct on board the aircraft

Air transportation is a special area where passenger safety is the priority. For us, these are not just words – we make sure your trip is safe and calm.

To any passenger’s action that endangers the safety of flight, life, health, dignity of the crew or other passengers there will be an immediate response by airline staff who have clear instructions and authority to prevent attempted violations on board.

IMPORTANT! In a pandemic, caring for the health of passengers is as much a part of flight safety as a fastened seat belt and compliance with other rules of conduct on board. That is why we added to these rules the requirement to wear a mask throughout the flight. Moreover, according to the recommendations of international and Ukrainian regulators, masks should be medical.

For non-compliance with the following rules of conduct, SkyUp Airlines has the right to apply various sanctions: from verbal remarks to an emergency landing at the nearest airport, surrender of the offender to the police, denial of transportation for several years, etc.
