Start-up Bees Airlines secures AOC

Ukrainian start-up Bees Airlines has received its AOC on 15 March and is preparing to launch operations soon. The airline will fly out of Kiev-Zhuliany Airport and initially will serve Sharm el Sheikh and Marsa Alam.

Bees Airlines recently took delivery of its first two B737-800s. UR-UBA (29662), currently at Woensdrecht for maintenance and painting, and UR-UBB (29696), which is currently at Kiev. Both aircraft are leased via Aviation Capital Group and are former Ukraine International Airlines. By May, the airline hopes to have four B737-800s in the fleet and serve more (tourist) destinations.
