AirBaltic has a ready plan to return to Ukraine as soon as the situation becomes safe. CEO Martin Haus said this in an interview with Bloomberg. According to him, the company has developed a plan to resume flights in the shortest possible time after the opening of the airspace. The airline plans to transfer capacity from other destinations to Ukraine as soon as it becomes safe, Gaus said. AirBaltic would also like to keep some planes in Ukraine overnight, a practice known as a night stand, he said.Advertisement: According to Haus, the company is ready to fly at least “tonight if it’s safe to do so.” The opening of airspace and airports will provide AirBaltic with an additional key market given that demand for travel to Ukraine is high, Haus said. The carrier will also be able to cross Ukrainian airspace to fly a more direct route south from Latvia to destinations such as Dubai and Greece. Haus said that the airline did not include this plan in its recommendations, as it is not clear when the airspace of Ukraine will reopen.

The Aviation Service of Ukraine is ready to resume flights by 95%, but the key factor for this remains ensuring the safety of passengers.
