Ukraine International Airlines

Ukraine International Airlines, often shortened to UIA, is the flag carrier and the largest airline in Ukraine, with its head office in Kyiv. UIA's main hub is located in Kyiv's Boryspil International Airport (IATA: KBP). 

UIA is the first officially registered IOSA Operator in the CIS which has successfully completed the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). UIA became the 51st registered IOSA Operator out of more than 250 IATA members, alongside KLM, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, TAP and SAS which are also on the IOSA Registry. This official IOSA Operator status proves that UIA's operational and safety standards are fully in line with international requirements.

UIA was founded in 1992 as an international carrier of independent Ukraine by the Ukrainian State Association of Civil Aviation and GPA, the world’s largest aircraft lessor. The organizational model of a public-private entity empowered UIA to take advantage of the strengths of all shareholders, to seize a vast selection of business opportunities, as well as to adopt the best maintenance, operation, service, and management practices of its international partners.

UIA is the only airline in the Ukrainian market that primarily develops regular passenger air transportation, thus being part of Ukraine's transport infrastructure.

As of December 2024, the UIA fleet includes 11 airliners of various modifications: 1 wide-body long-haul aircraft Boeing 737-900ER, 3 medium-haul Boeing-737-800, 2 Boeing 767-300, 4 medium-haul Embraer-190 and 1 long-haul Embraer ERJ-195.

Ukrainian hospitality, modern fleet, and internationally trained and certified crew, as well as ground personnel, ensure that UIA competes successfully in international markets.

UIA operates domestic and international passenger flights and cargo services to Europe, the Middle East, the United States, Canada, and Asia. 

UIA serves over 1000 flights per week.
