| Reduction of Transit Flows Also Affects UkSATSE's Profitability |
Andrii Yarmak, the head of UkSATSE, said in an interview with the Centre for Transport Strategies:
“The UkSATSE’s most successful year throughout the history of independence of Ukraine was 2013. At that time, the average number of flights over Ukraine was more than 57 thousand per month, and in 2015 the number of flights decreased to 27 thousand. At present, in some months there are more than 38 thousand of flights per month.
The main downfall was in transit flows. If in 2013, 65% of all flights were transit, today the share of transit is just over 40%. That is, we have refocused from transit air flows to flows taking off and landing in Ukraine.
The main reason is the closure of part of the airspace over the South of the country, over the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea including the territorial waters, as well as the closure of the Joint Forces Operation zone, and the buffer zone.
The reduction of transit flows also affected the UkSATSE's profitability. Previously, transit flows were directed mainly from Europe to Asia, and those were large long-haul aircraft. According to the calculation formula, the heavier the aircraft, the higher is the payment for the provided air navigation services in the airspace of Ukraine. Now, mainly medium-haul aircraft operate on transit routes.
The good news is that since 2017, the dynamics of flights has been gradually recovering.” |
