Departure of the plane from Boryspil: the media provided details

The Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, which took off yesterday from Boryspil Airport as part of an air race, has successfully landed in France at the Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées landing strip.

The aircraft has been forced to stay in a hangar near Kyiv since February 24, 2022, due to the start of the full-scale Russian invasion. The owners of Skyline Express welcomed the aircraft back almost two years later.

This was reported on the specialized website avianews.com.

The Boeing 777-300ER arrived in Ukraine at the end of 2021 after working for the Russian airline Azur Air. The airliner’s feature is its capacity – it can carry 531 passengers on board, which is an absolute record for Ukrainian aviation.

It is noted that this is the fourth technical flight from Boryspil since the beginning of the full-scale war and the closure of the airspace.

On December 20, 2022, Turkey evacuated two of its Airbus A400 military transport aircraft. And on April 4, 2023, Ukrainian airline SkyUp was able to fly a Boeing 737-800 with UR-SQP registration from Boryspil Airport to Romania.

According to President Zelenskyy, the opening of Boryspil Airport is a very serious operation. And this will be evidence that Ukraine is winning.
