Kyiv-based AeroSvit Airline has cancelled a number of arriving and departing flights on January 10, 2013.

The airline cancelled departing flights for Odesa, Simferopol, Minsk, Stockholm, Donetsk, Beijing, Warsaw, Tashkent, and Tel Aviv.

Arriving flights from Odesa, Tel Aviv, Minsk, Donetsk, and two flights from Simferopol have also been cancelled by the airline.

AeroSvit on January 9 announced its intention to resume the operation of aircraft that had been delayed at some foreign airports.

"At present, artificial barriers are being created to the company's flights returning from foreign airports, and to the company's resuming regular flights," AeroSvit said.

Previously AeroSvit was forced to cancel a number of flights due to the suspension of their servicing at some airports, particularly in Warsaw, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Tel Aviv.

The grounding of the airline's aircraft at the airports, in turn, restricted AeroSvit's ability to ensure the timely implementation of flights to other destinations.

The airport said that the decision of airports and handling companies was caused by distorted information in some online mass media about the alleged declaring of AeroSvit bankrupt. Contractors, according to their requests, feared that the Ukrainian carrier may terminate operations and payment for the services rendered.

Due to this, AeroSvit sent a written notice to all partner companies that it is intending to continue operations and fulfill its current liabilities.

AeroSvit was created in 1994. It is based at Boryspil airport in Kyiv. It serves 80 international destinations in 34 countries. It provides services to passengers in the largest cities of Ukraine. Its fleet consists of 28 Boeing aircraft, including 20 medium-range Boeing 737s and eight long-haul Boeing 767s. In addition to that, it operates Airbus 320, Airbus 321, Embraer 145, Embraer 190, and ATR-72 aircraft.
