At present, the opening of the airspace is impossible, - Shmyhal

The head of the government, Denys Shmyhal, noted that due to the difficult security situation, the restoration of air traffic is currently impossible. He emphasized the importance of focusing on developing alternative routes for the movement of cargo and passengers.

The head of the government stated this during the International Transport Forum.

Shmyhal explained that for the partial opening of airspace, it is necessary to conduct a risk assessment and have air defense systems, but due to the current security situation, this remains impossible.

He emphasized the importance of developing alternative routes for transporting cargo and passengers, particularly through the use of land routes, as well as road and rail transport.

Shmyhal noted that during one of the recent attacks, aviation infrastructure was damaged. At least 15 civilian airports suffered damage.
