We continue to work on improving safety standards. In October 2024, our SAFA rating reached 0.21. The result indicates a high level of flight safety and is indisputable proof that SkyUp™ meets all necessary international standards to be a reliable carrier.
In the period from October 2023 to October 2024, SkyUp™ aircraft successfully passed more than 20 inspections under the Safety Assessment for Foreign Aircraft programme (SAFA) run by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The SAFA programme is aimed at ensuring compliance with the relevant International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards by aircraft registered in the EU or third countries. SkyUp™ aircraft, which land at airports of EU countries and other participating states, also qualify for this category.
“Today, SkyUp™ is an international airline that has numerous partners who trust us and with whom we have long-standing business relationships. Of course, one of the basic conditions for such long-term partnerships is safety, which has always been a priority for us. The fact that our SAFA rating is 0.21 reflects not only further proof of this but also the result of hard work. In order to comply with global safety standards, we have implemented the best aviation practices and modern technological solutions in our operations. We plan to keep working and improving,” said Anton Koval, Director of Quality and Compliance Monitoring.
SkyUp™ is an airline with Ukrainian roots that operates charter flights and ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) contracts, when the airline provides operational control and crew, and the partner provides passenger turnover. The proven high level of flight safety, combined with round-the-clock support and attention to the specifics of each market, makes SkyUp™ a reliable partner. We are always open to cooperation and new opportunities.
