"The arrival of Ryanair in Ukraine is without exaggeration, a
remarkable event for Ukraine. Negotiations lasted for several
years, and I am proud that our team was able to successfully hold
them. Today we officially declare - Ryanair is in Ukraine!
I am convinced that Ryanair will be another bridge that connects
the infrastructure of Ukraine with Europe and it will be a good
signal for the world's major investors."
Director General of Danylo Halytskyi International Airport
"Lviv", Tetiana Vasylivna, said:
"Ukraine Danylo Halytskyi International Airport "Lviv" is
traditionally considered to be a western air gateway to Europe!
Therefore, we are extremely proud and happy to be among the first
airports in Ukraine to host flights operated by powerful low-cost
airline Ryanair, which now handles the highest volume of air
traffic in Europe!
With the air carrier's entry into this market, citizens of Lviv
will finally have the opportunity to fly on low fares to Europe,
which is a great advantage over other airlines and a prerequisite
for the development of competition in the air transportation market
of Ukraine. Moreover, Ryanair's launch of flights to Lviv is highly
anticipated not only by its citizens, but also by the European
tourists who have been waiting for the opportunity to travel to the
city comfortably and inexpensively for a long time.
The Lviv city and regional authorities are actively developing
tourism and logistics infrastructure, but they still resemble
undiscovered gems, the last hidden treasures of Europe. I take an
optimistic view of the prospects for our cooperation with Ryanair
and believe that it should signify that Lviv is open to the
World!"
