One of the largest low-cost airlines Ryanair may soon announce its plans to launch flights to Ukraine, the company's chief legal and regulatory officer, Juliusz Komorek, has said.

"I think so and we will soon make an announcement on this matter," he said in an interview with the Polish newspaper Fly4free when asked when the airline planned to start flights to Lviv and other Ukrainian cities.

He also stressed that Ukraine is a large market with a very attractive transport network and unpredictable situations on the border.

"I cannot say when we will enter the Ukrainian market – this winter season or the next summer season. Naturally, we are studying the routes from Ukraine to Poland, but also to other European countries," Komorek said.

Ukraine's Infrastructure Ministry earlier confirmed the talks between Kyiv and Lviv airports with one of the largest low cost airlines Ryanair about flights to Ukraine.

Ryanair Chief Commercial Officer David O'Brien said in May 2016 that Ryanair is holding talks with Lviv on the flights to the city.

"I don’t think that we will discuss flights to Odesa. Ukraine today can be considered only as am additional route to our key markets. They are Italy, Spain, Britain, Ireland and Germany where there are many popular routes closer than Ukraine. Broadly speaking, our business model is that each additional flight increases our production cost per passenger and we expects that this investment is returned. There is demand in Ukraine on flights to many countries. These are mostly flights to the east and north where Ryanair does not have the right to fly," he said in an interview with Forbes Ukraine.
