The main form of work of the group will be meetings at which recommendations on the possible resumption of airport operations will be discussed and adopted. Decisions will be made by a majority vote of the group members present.
Context
Ukraine closed its airspace on February 24, 2022, the day of the full-scale invasion by Russian troops.
In 2023, the state-owned air traffic services enterprise (Ukraerorukh) promised that Ukrainian airspace would be opened immediately after the end of hostilities. “Ukraerorukh” noted that Ukraine will not resume civil aircraft flights until it is safe to do so.
The Office of the President of Ukraine stated that the first facility to be opened as soon as the security situation facilitates this will be the Boryspil International Airport.
On August 30, 2025, The Telegraph reported that European countries were considering creating a no-fly zone over parts of Ukraine with the aim of gradually resuming commercial air travel.
On December 4, the Financial Times reported that European low-cost airlines – Ryanair, Wizz Air and easyJet – announced their readiness to promptly resume flights to Ukraine after the signing of a “peace agreement.”
