Aerosvit, one of Ukraine's two flag carriers, has announced that it is expanding its Asian network with new flights from its main base in Kiev to Colombo (3 times per week) , Hong Kong (3 times a week) and Ho Chi Minh City (twice a week) later this year. The flights will connect with Aerosvit's London Gatwick service which flies four times a week. Aerosvit is the largest airline in the Ukraine and operates 80 international routes to 33 countries worldwide. It's expanding fleet of aircraft includes 7 long-haul 767-300ERs and 14 medium-haul Boeing 737's.
Kiev is the capital of Ukraine, and dominates the economic, cultural, political and industrial North of the country. Kiev Borispol Airport is the home base of Aerosvit and is the largest of Kiev's three airports. From 1st September 2011 a new model of passengers handling has been implemented at Borispol Airport with international and domestic flights operating from a single terminal. In Terminal B the public areas for passengers taking domestic flights were significantly extended, the number of seats was increased and the level of service in the business lounge was upgraded. 1st September 2011 marked the first stage of transferring domestic flights to Terminal B and Terminal A closed for refurbishment.
The choice of new long haul destinations is indicative of these growing markets for both tourists and business traffic. Ho Chi Minh City is rapidly becoming a gateway for holiday makers wishing to explore the whole of the Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar region. Hong Kong's long established ties with Europe have continued ever since its return to Chinese sovereignty in 1997 and Colombo is fast developing into a strong commercial centre for trade alongside the traditionally busy sea port.
