Ukraine’s property fund said Wednesday that it plans to sell its majority stake in Ukraine International Airlines this year as state asset sales lag behind the government’s target.
The Kiev-based fund owns 61.6 percent of the airline. The airline, founded in 1992, operates 300 regular flights a week and has 19 Boeing aircraft, according to its web site. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development owns almost 10 percent of the company, and Austria’s UIAB has 22.5 percent.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
