Since 17 March, Ukraine has banned passenger flights. You can return to Ukraine with SkyUp till 16 March inclusive. Those with booked flights from Ukraine on dates falling on the ban period will be able to reschedule them or cancel the ticket in accordance with the ticket type conditions.

What will happen to passengers who are now abroad

Ukrainians and foreigners who are entitled to permanent or temporary residence in Ukraine, and who are now abroad, can return to Ukraine on SkyUp Airlines flights, which the air carrier will operate until 16 March, 23:59 inclusive.

Those who will not proceed to return during this time are advised to contact the Ukrainian consulates. These compatriots will be returned home by separate non-scheduled flights, which will be organized by the state.

UPDATE! In addition, we urge Ukrainians abroad who cannot proceed to return until 16 March, 23:59 inclusive, to register in the DRUG electronic system created by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. This will help coordinate the return of Ukrainian citizens, while for the embassies and consulates of Ukraine to keep in touch with them.

What about compensations for passengers who are now abroad and have a round-trip ticket falling on the period of the ban
