Following the announcement of its new service between Turin and Kyiv last August, the Ukrainian low-cost airline entrusts TAL Aviation, global airline and travel representation leader, to serve as its General Sales Agent in Italy. 

TAL Aviation's Italian team will be selling and marketing the twice weekly seasonal service, beginning 27^th October.  This is in addition to the Naples – Kyiv service which also operates on a twice weekly basis. 

SkyUp is renowned for operating the youngest fleet among airlines in Ukraine.  With an average age of just over 11 years, passengers from Italy will be able to enjoy travel on one of the carrier's medium-haul Boeing 737 aircraft. 

“We extend our list of flights with one more destination to Italy. Today we open ticket sales for flights from Kyiv to Turin in response to the wishes of Ukrainians to go on vacation to European resorts.  For SkyUp Airlines, this is one more step towards our mission to make travel comfortable and affordable for Ukrainians, as well as to open Ukraine to the world”, said Yevhenii Khaynatskii, CEO of SkyUp Airlines. 

"SkyUp Airlines has been progressively developing and expanding over the past year.  With a flexible fare structure, we are looking forward to offering our customers a new and attractive alternative of travel to Ukraine" comments Nissim Sagis, TAL Aviation's Chief Commercial Officer.

With no less than 5 launch announcements made during October, including its Kyiv-Colombo long haul service, TAL Aviation is looking forward to expanding its partnership with SkyUp to additional markets.
