Ukraine’s airspace to remain open despite threat of war in the region
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.
“Ukraine is ready to make financial commitments for the safety of aircraft in the Ukrainian sky.
A government official said.
“To ensure flight safety, the government today decided to allocate funds from the State Budget Reserve Fund to the Infrastructure Ministry. Guarantees will be provided for insurance companies, reinsurance companies, leasing companies and airlines.”
A government official said.
The fear of MH17 happening again
The aviation industry is still fearful of Ukraine’s airspace, taunted by the memory of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which was shot down while flying near eastern Ukraine’s conflict zone in July 2014.
All 298 passengers and crew on board the doomed flight were killed.
A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister crashed on Sunday as it was crossing mountain terrain in heavy fog.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
