European low-cost carriers plan to return to Ukraine immediately after the signing of the peace agreement. This is reported by the Financial Times.

It is reported that companies expect a surge in transportation due to the return of Ukrainians, large-scale reconstruction and even the so-called "catastrophic tourism", that is, those who want to visit the post-war country. According to the head of Wizz Air, Jozsef Varadi, within two years after achieving peace, the company plans to base on Ukraine has 15 aircraft, and in seven years to increase their number to 50.

"As soon as the airspace opens, we will restore our presence very quickly. This will be a significant opportunity for us," he said.

In turn, Ryanair said it would be able to resume flights two weeks after any agreement. According to the head of the company, Eddie Wilson, routes can be quickly opened from dozens of bases throughout Europe.

"There will be no difficulties in gaining 4 million passengers," he said.

In addition, easyJet, previously not working on Ukraine is also considering entering the country's market. The company's CEO Kenton Jarvis called Ukraine the future "the largest construction project in Europe" and noted that many will want to return home when it becomes safe.
