Ukraine and Latvia plan to increase the number of flights between the two countries, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has said.

"As Ukraine has introduced sanctions against Russian airlines, as Russia continues to violate Ukraine's air space, while we banned flights to Crimea, now we're developing our bilateral flights both by Ukrainian and Latvian airlines," he said at a press conference after a meeting with Prime Minister of Latvia Laimdota Straujuma in Riga on November 6.

Yatseniuk said that Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) and BaltikAir will increase the number of their flights between the two countries.
