12 July , 2016  

KYIV. July 12 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine International Airlines (UIA, Kyiv), the largest Ukrainian airlines, believes that the aviation market with eastern countries should be liberalized, UIA President Yuriy Miroshnikov has said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

“The European market is enough liberalized. Dear managers of the sector, use your liberalization efforts in the East. There are examples of liberal approach, such as Georgia, Kazakhstan, and tough regulation and resistance – Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, partially Iran, Jordan and Lebanon,” he said.

Miroshnikov is confident that without solving the issues in the East it would be difficult to use Ukraine’s transit potential.
