After airlines such as the Dutch KLM and the German Lufthansa announced that we were considering banning flights over Ukraine, Kiev allocated funds to guarantee their continuity over its airspace.
Ukraine raised 520 million euros in order to ensure the continuity of flights there, despite the West’s fear of a possible Russian invasion, said Prime Minister Denys Shmygal.
This money, he explained, was saved to “secure flights to Ukraine and disturbed companies.”
The Dutch airline, KLM, was the first to decide to cancel flights to Ukraine until further notice.
Dutch sensitivity to potential danger in Ukrainian airspace is high, following the downing of a Malaysian plane in 2014 over an area of eastern Ukraine led by Russian-backed rebels.
All 298 people on board died, including 198 Dutch nationals.
Ukrainian airline SkyUp also said on Sunday that its flight from Madeira, Portugal to Kiev was diverted to the Moldovan capital Kishinwu after the Irish aircraft landlord said it was suspending flights into Ukrainian airspace.
