Ukraine International Airlines is to open a new transatlantic connection to the Canadian city of Toronto next year.

The airline says it will operate thrice-weekly on the route from Kiev, commencing 6 June.

Ukraine International will use Boeing 767-300ERs on the service configured in three classes, including a premium-economy cabin.

The carrier already features New York JFK on its network.

It states that the opening of a link with Canada has been "long-awaited".

Ukraine International operates a fleet of 40 aircraft, over half of which are Boeing 737s, and the airline has signalled that it intends to expand with its first Boeing 777s.
