OREANDA-NEWS. April 23, 2012. The Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine is completing negotiations with one of the low-cost airlines to access in the Ukrainian market, particularly in order to make traffic already during the Football Championship Euro 2012.

According to the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister of Infrastructure Borys Kolesnikov, cheap flights from Europe to Ukraine should have an impact on prices, which have been established by national hoteliers for a tournament period. Because foreigners will prefer to arrive by air several times, rather than stay in Ukrainian hotels.

"We are completing signing of the contract with one of the low-cost airlines for access in the Ukrainian market. And now all the fans will be able to calculate how much will be cost flights for them in both directions for each championship match and costs in hotels. This amount will be for the benefit of aviation. I think from now prices for hotels should go down sharply," explained Borys Kolesnikov.

So, a ticket from London to Donetsk in both ways will cost USD 300, and the flight will take of 3.5 hours for fans. "England will play in Ukraine at least three group matches, it will take USD 900. Accordingly, if the hotels cost more than USD 200 per night, then stay in Ukraine fans would be too expensive rather than arrive separately to each match. I think this quite quickly "damp down enthusiasm" of our hotels," said the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine.

According to Borys Kolesnikov, the issue of high prices at the hotel during the Euro 2012 will be resolved by the end of April.
