A new era in civil aviation in Ukranian history began with the creation of the state aviation regulation body – “Ukraviatsiya” that coincided with the beginning of trade relations in civil aviation. A freedom of initiative was given in creation of new national airline with different property categories. Thanks to it Ukrainian aviation managed to avoid a complete collapse in conditions of sharp transportation decrease in the domestic market, limited by legal framework for international flights. In September 1992, Ukraine became a member of ICAO, and later in May 1993 adopted its own Code of Air and rapidly established “air bridges” with many countries.
