Ryanair Promises Post-War Push Into Ukraine as O’Leary Visits

Ryanair Holdings Plc Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary traveled to Ukraine and inspected Boryspil international Airport on the outskirts of Kyiv as he promised to invest more than $3 billion to rebuild the war-torn country’s aviation industry once the conflict ends.

Ryanair would resume flights within eight weeks of the Ukraine air space reopening and European regulators declaring the passage safe, the company said in a statement. The budget specialist said it wants to operate 600 weekly flights from Kyiv, Lviv and Odesa to cities in 20 European capitals, as well as a domestic service between the three Ukrainian cities, it said.
