2021 continues, while SkyUp Airlines has already carried more than 2 million passengers. This is the first time the airline has reached this number within one year. We are especially pleased that the child became a record passenger. Especially since every year more and more young Ukrainians travel with us.

FC Shakhtar player Valeriy Bondar and representatives of the airline welcomed the two millionth passenger, who was traveling with his parents to the UAE, at the check-in counter. Together with warm congratulations, the boy received an autographed ball and a gift certificate with a 99% discount for the next trip during the year for any relevant SkyUp destination. Also, the child was presented with memorable souvenirs that can be useful in future travels.

«SkyUp Airlines has been carrying out flights for three years, and during this period we have achieved a lot: we have grown from several charter routes to more than 60 destinations, from two planes to 14, but most importantly is that we have won the trust of our passengerssays Dmytro Seroukhov, CEO at SkyUp Airlines. «We welcome the fact that more and more Ukrainian citizens choose an active lifestyle and travel to other countries. Aiming to make their trips even more comfortable, we are constantly updating and developing our services for both adults and children. During flights with SkyUp young passengers can try a special menu and craft ice cream.»
