"IMPORTANT UPDATE 24/05/2018 – CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 26TH MAY 2018
Dear customers,
With deep regret, we have had to cancel three flights to Kiev
Due to so many flights going into Kiev, Kiev Borispyl has unable to allocate times for aircraft.
We have worked extremely hard over the last 48 hours trying to resolve these issues. We have had Liverpool football club, Police, UEFA and everyone at the highest levels of authority trying to resolve this.
We have exhausted all avenues to try and get landing slots. We have had them from Liverpool airport and Manchester airport and we have applied for slots in the correct manner and time frame with the authorities. To reiterate this problem IS with Kiev."
Who thinks that while these chartered, more-or-less-commercial flights have been cancelled due to inability to allocate landing times, that all FIFA bigwigs and the Sepp Blatter's of the world have the remaining landing times at Boryspil International (KBP)?
I bet UEFA and FIFA can get all their little private charters in no problem. That's the bigger issue here.
Also, Kiev International(IEV) is located in the capital, but it does only 1/10 of the traffic of Boryspil and much smaller aircraft. Only 1 runway, 7500 feet, not long enough for major aircraft. Here is where a lot of the private rich-ies will be landing as well.
