UIA Expansion Continues

摘要

Ukraine international Airlines (UIA) added another new type to its fleet in late July when it took delivery of three Boeing 737-900s. The jets - one brand new and two second-hand, former Sky Airlines examples - are the latest element of the carrier's ongoing fleet expansion programme under which it has acquired almost 20 new aircraft in 2013 alone. UlA's brand new CFM56-7BE-powered 737, UR-PSI (c 41534), was delivered direct from the manufacturer's facility in Seattle, Washington, and is configured in a two-class, 179-seat layout. It operated its first revenue-earning service, from Kiev to Larnaca and back, on August 4.
