Not just managers. 10 effective state managers of Ukraine according to Focus
The head of UkSATSE Andrii Yarmak is on the list of the country’s effective state managers. “These people do not make populist statements at the Verkhovna Rada, rarely attend loud talk shows, because they are busy - working. And we decided to talk about them”, - says the publication of the Focus magazine. According to the magazine information, the assessment is based, in particular, on the ratio of promises made or goals set for the state managers - with the work they have done. In particular, it is important how well the enterprise or agency was able to withstand the crisis period led by the head.

Today is the 22nd anniversary of the creation of the Joint Civil-Military Air Traffic Management System of Ukraine
22 years ago, on 19 July 1999, the Joint Civil-Military Air Traffic Management System of Ukraine was created (JCMS). All of its units are part of UkSATSE, as close civil-military coordination is very important for the efficient use of airspace and ensuring a high level of safety - while respecting the interests of national defence and economy of the State. Civil and military specialists work in the same shifts at UkSATSE and promptly take joint decisions on air traffic management issues and guarantee safe and efficient use of airspace by both state and civil aviation, which is especially important in the current environment. The main unit of the system is the Ukrainian Airspace Management and Planning Centre (UKRAEROCENTER).

Air traffic recovery in June: the number of flights serviced by UkSATSE reached almost 60% of pre-crisis level
Air traffic in Ukraine is gradually returning to the pre-crisis volumes. In June 2021 there were 21,113 flights in the airspace of Ukraine, which were provided by UkSATSE with air navigation services, amounting to 59.6% of the June volume of flights in the pre-crisis year 2019. The May indicators were lower: 56.6% of the flights during the same period in 2019. Therefore we record though smooth, but positive dynamics of air traffic in the airspace of Ukraine. The flights intensity increase is caused by the tourist season start, gradual opening of borders of foreign countries, restoration of a number of suspended international flights to Europe due to the pandemic and appearance of new air carriers on the aviation market of Ukraine.

Andrii Yarmak, Head of UkSATSE, on air travel problems, traffic pricing and the Minsk incident
In an interview with BusinessCensor (BC) Andrii Yarmak, Head of UkSATSE, explained what responsibility air traffic controllers have, why air traffic is not recovering, how Ukraine is attracting transit traffic to its airspace and why the terminal charge differs from one airport to another. The state enterprise (SE) UkSATSE, the national provider of air navigation services, operates the entire airspace of Ukraine. In terms of airspace volume (which is 776 square kilometres), our country ranks as the 5th largest in Europe. How does UkSATSE work in a pandemic crisis? What exactly are the air traffic controllers of the Enterprise responsible for? What lures air carriers to the Ukrainian sky? And is it true that the crew of the plane carrying the Belarusian blogger Roman Protasevich requested an emergency landing at the Ukrainian airport? Andrii Yarmak, Acting Director of UkSATSE, explained this in an interview with BusinessCensor.

Head of UkSATSE - participant of the 1st International Investment Forum
Andrii Yarmak: "The southern airspace of Ukraine is strategically important for the development of the country's transit potential. Considering this, we are working hard to resume flights in the Simferopol flight information region, in particular to improve the air navigation infrastructure. This applies to the modernization of locators, voice communication system, and navigation equipment. Right at the airport Kherson a new navigation equipment DVOR/DME will be installed, which will also operate on the route, and provide aircraft landing assistance at the airport.”

Flight statistics in May: recovery of air traffic in Ukrainian airspace stabilizing
A total of 16,986 flights were performed in Ukrainian airspace in May 2021, which is 43.4% less compared to 2019. The absolute value of the number of flights provided with air navigation services is growing from month to month, while the dynamics of recovery is the same as in April. Flights are increasing due to the beginning of summer navigation, the active tourist season, as well as the opening of borders of more and more countries. The suspension of air service with the Republic of Belarus has not significantly affected the May indicators. However, it may lead to a slowdown in volume growth in coming months.

Today the President of Ukraine hosted a meeting with the Slovak Prime Minister and expressed his gratitude to the Slovak government for ratifying the agreement, which will allow the Uzhhorod International Airport to resume full operation.
The agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Government of the Slovak Republic on the determination of conditions for the use of a certain part of the Slovak Republic's airspace in connection with the provision of air traffic services to a designated Ukrainian air navigation service provider at the Uzhhorod International Airport will enter into force on June 5 this year. This Agreement is the result of painstaking work carried out by Ukrainian and Slovak experts to restore the full operation of the Uzhhorod International Airport and to ensure sustainable air links between Transcarpathia and other regions of Ukraine and the world. Thus, for the implementation of the Agreement’s provisions, a number of key tasks have been carried out, which Ukraine performed for the first time in its history. In particular, Ukrainian air navigation services provider (UkSATSE) has been certified for the first time under European Union (EU) standards and as a result was designated by the Slovak Party as a services provider in a certain part of the airspace of another country, Slovakia, as part of flights to/from Uzhhorod International Airport.
