AeroSvit Airlines private stock company (Ukrainian: Приватне акціонерне товариство «Авіакомпанія АероСвіт»), operating as AeroSvit — Ukrainian Airlines / АероСвіт, was a Ukrainian private airline. Its head office was on the grounds of the Boryspil International Airport in Boryspil.
Aerosvit Airlines was a member of IATA and an IATA IOSA certified carrier. Its main base was the Boryspil Airport. The airline started operations in April 1994 with international flights from Kiev in co-operation with Air Ukraine.
Bankruptcy procedure began in December 2012 and in January 2013, AeroSvit ceased its operations.
The airline was established on 25 March 1994, and started operations in April that year with flights from Kiev to Athens, Larnaca, Tel Aviv, Odesa and Thessaloniki in co-operation with Air Ukraine. In October the same year, the carrier started dry-leasing some Boeing 737-200s in connection with the addition of Moscow into the route network. In 1995, new scheduled flights from Kiev to Almaty, Ashgabad, and Riga were launched, laying the foundations for it to become a transit airline. In 1996, Yekaterinburg, Kharkiv, Lviv, and Simferopol were added to the airline's network. Also in 1996, the airline became a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). By 1997 Aerosvit Airlines became a member of IATA Clearing House and purchased its first Boeing 737-200 aircraft. By 1999 Aerosvit had acquired a third Boeing 737-200 aircraft and scheduled flights to Budapest, Sofia and Istanbul were launched.
