(VOVworld) - State Aviation Administration of Ukraine adopted a decision to ban all flights to Kharkov and Dnipropetrovsk from December 1, 2014. Head of department Denys Antoniuk said due to safety reason, Russia is not allowed to operate flights to these two cities, adding that the flights are prohibited 'until further instructions'.
The ban also impacts Ukraine’s Dniproavia airline. In eastern Ukraine, Lugansk airport was damaged in the prolonged conflict between the pro-independence and government forces, while air strikes have continued in Donetsk.
