Ukraine, Malta lift restrictions on scheduled air services

The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine and the Ministry for Transport, Infrastructure and Capital Projects of Malta have agreed to mutually lift the existing restrictions on scheduled air services between the two countries.

The Ukrainian ministry’s press service announced this on its Facebook page, Ukrinform reports.

The agreement provides for the removal of restrictions on: the number of designated airlines, departures/destinations in the territories of both countries, the introduction of an unlimited number of flights during scheduled flights.

According to the ministry, the new agreement is expected to increase the number of flights between the countries, as well as help reduce the cost of tickets.

In October, Ukraine and the European Union plan to sign the Common Aviation Area Agreement. Due to this, Ukrainian carriers will get expanded access to the EU market.

As Ukrinform reported, in 2022, Ukraine will receive 25% more permits from Bulgaria for international cargo transportation services.
