Ukraine International Airlines insists on priority vaccination for pilots and cabin crew

Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) insisted (07-Apr-2021) that the Ukrainian Government must include pilots and cabin crew in the list of key professions to be eligible for priority COVID-19 vaccination. CEO Eugene Dykhne said vaccination of pilots and cabin crew "is important both for the preservation of the human resources of aviation, and in terms of strengthening protection against the spread of the virus". UIA stated the Ukraine Ministry of Health's immunisation plan does not provide for the primary vaccination of aviation personnel. [more - original PR - English/Russian]
