The partnership opens RAK to a key international market as travel restrictions continue to ease, the emirate’s Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA) said in a statement.
“Ukraine has emerged as a growing market for Ras Al Khaimah, with our partnership with Ukraine International Airlines demonstrating our resolve to restart tourism by re-energizing our aviation collaborations,” RAKTDA chief Raki Phillips said.
It is part of the emirate’s massive international tourism push which includes a $136 million investment plan involving a number of new attractions.
