26.06.2024

According to Flightradar data, on June 17-18, the aircraft made a flight along the Guangzhou-Tashkent-Sofia route. Then the plane went to Lithuania - to Vilnius and Šiauliai. According to the Center for Transport Strategies, this aircraft was built in 2007. Previously, the aircraft operated in the fleet of the German Air Berlin, and then - the Russian charter company Royal Flight, which ceased operations in 2022 against the background of Western sanctions.

Even before the beginning of the invasion, Nova Poshta was going to receive two Boeing cargo aircrafts and planned to establish their direct flights from the USA and China to Ukraine. The air company SupernovaAirlines, a member of the Nova Group, was founded in 2021, and in January 2023, it was the first Ukrainian company to receive an operator’s certificate during a full-scale war. According to CTS, regular flights may start closer to autumn.
