Commercial air travel in Ukraine increasingly closed off

Representatives of the commercial air travel in the Ukraine have been complaining about the increasing monopolization of the industry. IAR reported that Ukraine avoided signing an open skies legislation that would allow increased competition and lower prices. Industry representatives are protesting the government's apparent favoritism for a single company. Among the protesters is WizzAir, which is the only foreign low-cost carrier that operates in Ukraine. WizzAir is considering pulling back its share of flights to and from the country.
