Ukraine's State Aviation Service has decided not to issue a passenger and cargo transportation license to Ukrainian Wings Airline LLC (Kyiv).

According to order No. 756 dated September 26, the decision is explained by the provisions of Article 12 of the law on licensing of types of economic activities.

The grounds for dismissing the application to receive the license are the following: the application or any other document attached to the application is signed by an unauthorized person, drawn up not meeting the legislation requirements or not containing data that are to be included in the document.

The airline is to repeatedly submit the application.
