Infrastructure Ministry to apply open skies principle at Odesa airport from June 30
The Infrastructure Ministry of Ukraine will apply the open skies principle at Odesa airport from June 30, Infrastructure Minister Andriy Pyvovarsky said at a briefing on Friday.
"We decided together with the State Aviation Service and Odesa Regional State Administration to [initiate] 'open skies' at Odesa airport. The State Aviation Service will inform transporters about it soon," he said.
In turn, Odesa Governor Mikheil Saakashvili said that the price for air travel should fall as a result of the initiative, adding that the government closing its eyes to the schemes of oligarchs can never make things better.
"Many countries have experience; there must be reforms in the field. And everybody should be allowed [to provide air travel services], let the people choose," he said, going on to note the strong monopolization of the commercial flights market in Ukraine.
