At the beginning of the year, Ukrainians discussed the news about the high-speed railway track from central Kyiv to Boryspil International airport. The new track is promised to reach the destination in 40 minutes. The construction works are already in process at Kyiv Central Railway Station. Passengers are promised to test the first train in 2018. At the moment, five train cars are getting ready to get on track. Each of them will accommodate up to 90 people.
Following the latest trend of eco-friendliness, airlines and governments around the world are considering the ecological way of transfers. For instance, experts in Norway state that the country can start operating inbound flights solely on electric planes until 2040. While nowadays the planes accommodate a limited number of people, in perspective the electric liners will accommodate up to 20-30 passengers.
Australian Qantas airlines, on the contrary, opts for the more luxurious flight options. Its nonstop London-Sidney flight may be upgraded like never before: the airplane would host a bar, nursery, separate sleeping areas with real beds and even a gym. The company seeks for the aircraft suitable for the updated 12-hour flight.
New flights
Lufthansa Group will now have one more company represented in Ukraine: starting from October 2018, Brussels Airlines enters the Ukrainian market. The new route will connect the capitals of Ukraine and Belgium and will be launched on October 17. The flight will appear on the schedule four times a week.
One more flight that will connect Kyiv with another capital is the new Kyiv-Tbilisi launched by the Georgian Myway Airlines. The flights will be launched on October 5 and will operate twice a week on Monday and Friday. At the end of the month, the company plans to add a flight on Wednesday as well.
