Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has voiced concerns about the prolonged inaction regarding the reopening of Kyiv and Lviv airports, stating this silence has persisted for over two years. He argues that restarting flights is crucial for Ukraine’s economic recovery post-war. Although the Ukrainian government claims to be 95% ready to reopen these airports, ongoing security issues due to the conflict with Russia render the resumption impractical. Lviv's airport may open by summer, with multiple airlines interested. However, the situation remains contingent on enhancing airport defenses.
O'Leary expressed frustration over the lack of communication regarding airport reopenings, emphasizing the critical need for flights to aid Ukraine's economic recovery.
O'Leary highlighted that reopening airports is crucial for Ukraine's economy, remarking that over two years of silence is unacceptable.
Romanovska noted the interest of several airlines in reviving commercial flights, stating that readiness to reopen Lviv airport could lead to operations by summer.
The Ukrainian government indicates a high level of preparedness for reopening airports, yet emphasizes that security concerns due to the ongoing conflict remain a barrier.
