The SkyUp reservation system indicates that yKiv-Colombo flights will be operated by the Boeing 737-900ER. The airline received its first airplane of this type on October 10, and already on October 11, it began servicing the SkyUp route network.
Since the power of this airliner is not enough for non-stop flights, on the way to Colombo, according to SkyUp, the aircraft will land in one of the UAE cities for refueling lasting 1.5 hours. At this time, passengers will be on the board of aircraft.
Due to the significant duration of flights, which will be 11 hours 15 minutes on the way from Kyiv to Colombo and 11 hours 10 minutes in the opposite direction, SkyUp promises to feed passengers twice free of charge, providing sandwiches and drinks, and then hot meals.
