After a long break, Eurowings has resumed flights from Düsseldorf to Kiev-Borispil. For the time being, three weekly rounds will be offered. Competitors such as Ryanair and Wizz Air reactivated their offer to the capital of Ukraine much earlier.

In Kiev, Eurowings uses Borispil Airport, which is located a long way from the city. Wizz Air is currently the only provider of flights between Germany and the inner-city airport Kiew-Schuljany. The last-mentioned airport has significantly higher fees than Borispil.

“We, the airlines of the Lufthansa Group, are pleased to strengthen our presence at Boryspil International Airport and to start our new Eurowings route Kiev-Düsseldorf with three weekly flights. After 30 years of successful operations by Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines flights to Kiev, Eurowings is entering the market today and offering our travelers from Kiev even more opportunities for global connections. With the new direct flights, the Lufthansa Group Airlines are offering around 70 weekly frequencies from the Ukraine to Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, Zurich and now also Düsseldorf ”, says Karsten Zang, General Manager Sales Ukraine, Belarus, Turkmenistan and South Caucasus.

The flights expand the range of “family and home visits”, in which the Lufthansa subsidiary already offers numerous connections, for example to Greece, Croatia, Turkey or Beirut in Lebanon. Since July, Eurowings has also had flights to Tbilisi, Georgia, to Yekaterinburg and Krasnodar in Russia and to the Armenian capital Yerevan.
