On Thursday, April 17th, AeroSvit celebrated five years of non-stop service between New York and Kyiv. The Ukraine national carrier first expanded its premier Kyiv nonstop flight to New York’s JFK airport in March 2003. Since then, AeroSvit has seen an increase in the number of flights and passengers traveling from Kyiv to New York by 150%. That is 350,000 passengers that have flown the non-stop route in the five year period. Alex Young and I joined friends and business partners in toasting AeroSvit’s accomplishments on an outside terrace overlooking South Central Park and 59th Street. The weather was great, the food was delicious and everyone seemed to be in high spirits. Pictures taken by photographer Nikolai Komissarov can be viewed here. It seems that AeroSvit is focusing on comfort and customer satisfaction while improving their services. It was brought to my attention by Sergiy Kutsy, AeroSvit’s Press Secretary, that as the start of 2008 AeroSvit has been providing and will continue to provide complimentary limousine services to their business class passengers traveling through JFK at the passenger’s final destination within the five New York boroughs. The number to call for this service is 212-661-1620. In addition to the Kyiv-New York non-stop flight, AerSvit also flies to international cities such as Baku, Beijing, Cairo, Delhi, Dubai, Salonika, Sofia, St. Petersberg and Tel Aviv. -Courtney Centeno, account executive
