Air Onix (Simferopol) has been forced to amend its operations in light of the political upheavals currently affecting Ukraine. In its press statement, Air Onix said that effective December 15, it had suspended its Kyiv Boryspil to Donetsk service owing to substantial decline in demand. The route had catered mainly to business. In addition, owing to an unspecified aircraft fault, Air Onix has had to curtail its operations for the next few days while the affected aircraft undergoes necessary maintenance. The carrier expects services to return to normal thereafter. The regional airline operates just two aircraft now, a B737-400 and a B737-500, after its other two aircraft had previously been repossessed by lessor ILFC.
