The new route will launch in April next year and Manchester will be one of four European cities connected to the Ukrainian capital by the airline, along with Larnaca, Athens and Sofia. It is one of 62 new routes being introduced to Manchester for next summer. 

Justin Carr, the Aviation Director for Manchester, said: “Kyiv is currently unserved and this route will open up the Ukraine for the 22 million people in our catchment area.”

The route will be flown twice weekly and to celebrate the launch, Ryanair are offering a sale on bookings between April and June 2019 with seats starting at £5. The sale will end at midnight tonight and the airline is urging customers to get in fast if they don’t want to miss out.
