Ukraine International was formed in 1992 with relatively more modern 737-200s but remained a short and medium haul carrier until 2014.Īir Ukraine had folded in 2002 and was almost immediately replaced on long haul flights by AeroSvit Airlines which used leased 767-300ERs. Initially Air Ukraine was the primary long-haul carrier with a fleet of classic Soviet era types spearheaded by the Ilyushin IL-62. Since the fall of the Soviet Union and Ukrainian independence the large Black Sea nation has been served by three major long-haul airlines. Ukraine International is one such airline and the recent delivery of a quartet to Kiev gives JC Wings a good opportunity to showcase its new 777-200 mould, which as with many of its other widebody offerings comes in both standard and flaps down configuration. It has been more than a decade since the Boeing 777-200ER was seen as the cutting edge of long haul airliners however the aircraft remains a solid and effective option especially for those airlines who cannot afford new 787s or A350s.
