Wizz Air Ukraine launches international flights from Kiev

I wouldn't say it's something "breathtaking", but Wizzair's development in Ukraine should be watched very carefully, they are trying to be the low-cost leader not only in Central Europe, but more to the East as well... and it's a vast market.
Wizz Air Ukraine, the first low fare - low cost airline in Ukraine announced during the airline’s Kiev-Odessa-Kiev demonstration flight today that it intended to operate international routes to London Luton, Dortmund and Milan Bergamo from its Kiev base later this year. The company will provide affordable and comfortable travel to many Ukrainian holidaymakers and millions of students and workers who live abroad and will now have the opportunity to travel back to Ukraine for less and consequently more often. The new flights are planned to start from 15 September and will complement the airline’s domestic network. The start of ticket sales for the international flights remains subject to regulatory approvals expected to take place in the course of July.

Wizz Air Ukraine’s [international] schedule:

Kiev - London Luton* 3 flights/week
Kiev - Dortmund* 3 flights/week
Kiev - Milan Bergamo* 3 flights/week
*Subject to regulatory approvals

(...)
"Today's announcement of our intent to launch international routes from Kiev and the very first Wizz Air Kiev-Odessa demonstration flights are new milestones in the development of Wizz Air Ukraine. We are pleased to make the next steps as we have been experiencing excessive demand for low fare air tickets by the Ukrainian people since we started sales a couple of weeks ago." – said Natasa Kázmér, Director General of Wizz Air Ukraine.
