SkyUp is a rapidly growing global airline brand. It currently unites the company with Ukrainian registration SkyUp LLC (PQ; SQP) and the company with Maltese registration SkyUp MT (U5; SEU).

As a result, regional and global air transportation leaders** successfully cooperate with SkyUp Airlines. So, during 2022, 5,596* flights were made, and in the incomplete year of 2023, already 7,234* flights.

SkyUp Capabilities

SkyUp Airlines has been operating on the Ukrainian market since 2018, and in 2021 the airline became the second most operated flight among Ukrainian air carriers.

Since 2023, the activity of SkyUp MT has started. The European air carrier has obtained:

• Air Operator Certificate (AOC),
• Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization certificate (CAMO),
• Air Operator License (AOL),
• UK TCO Authorization.

SkyUp Airlines has a FAR129 Foreign Air Carrier Certificate for operations in the United States, as well as an FAOC certificate that allows it to provide ACMI services and charter flights from other countries to Canada. In addition, SkyUp Airlines is authorized by EASA TCO and UK TCO, which allows it to operate flights to EU countries and Great Britain. The airline also has an Operating Permit of Switzerland.

Fleet

Under ACMI contracts, SkyUp offers 10 medium-haul Boeing-737 aircraft, the average age of which is 14 years. All aircraft are equipped with modern and reliable CFM56 engines, as well as Scimitar Winglets. The use of such winglets is aimed at reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere and saving fuel.

Five aircraft of the Boeing 737-800 NG are equipped with the SkyInterior configuration — an improved interior design with LED lighting and more convenient and spacious luggage shelves. Multi-colored interior lighting, which is selected depending on the phase of the flight, creates an atmosphere of comfort and allows passengers to better endure long flights. Other planes have a classic interior.

Most of the company's planes are equipped with comfortable and light Acro and Recaro seats. However, soon it is planned to re-equip with even more relevant Geven seats, designed by the Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. UR-SQO and 9H-SAU boards are already equipped with them. These seats are more comfortable and ergonomic for passengers, and also provide additional space, which makes the flight more comfortable and pleasant.

Crews

Currently, the company employs 363 flight attendants and 163 pilots. The crews go through all types of training approved by SAAU, developed in accordance with programs and standards of ICAO (DOC 10002) and EASA.

In addition to mandatory training, flight attendants take courses in the company, constantly improving their professional level. For example, last year, senior flight attendants completed an additional First Aid course. Also, all flight attendants took courses in conflict theory and the basics of service provision on board.

Reliable cooperation

Since the beginning of providing services under ACMI contracts, SkyUp Airlines has performed 12 830* flights ordered by other air carriers.

The list of airlines with which SkyUp Airlines has cooperated includes:

Air Albania, AirMoldova, Corendon, Corendon Dutch, ETF, FlyEgypt, FlyOne, Freebird, HiSky, Smartwings, Tailwind, Tunis Air, TWI, WizzAir, WizzAir Abu Dhabi та WizzAir Malta.
