The airspace above Ukraine will remain open for airlines to fly, despite the growing threat of a possible war that could erupt in the region, should Russia invade
Ukraine’s government revealed it is taking new measures to keep its airspace open following Dutch airline KLM becoming the first major carrier to suspend flights to the capital Kyiv.
It comes as tensions over Russia’s military build-up on Ukraine’s border intensify despite efforts to encourage a diplomatic way forward.
Ukraine stated that it was ready to assume financial obligations for flight safety in the country’s airspace.
Other airlines could follow KLM suspension move due to the risk of flying and because of the rising cost of insurance
Ukraine officials over the weekend stated that the country was willing to underwrite some of the costs.
