SkyUp launches 'Wings of Gratitude' program
Ukrainian airline SkyUp has introduced a social initiative called 'Wings of Gratitude.' This program allows combat participants and veterans to purchase tickets on regular flights for a symbolic price of €1, plus airport fees. These fees typically range from €10 to €50. The offer is subject to seat availability, and up to four tickets can be booked per flight.
To qualify for the discount, combat participants must contact the airline’s team and send a photo of their combat participant ID (UBC). Currently, SkyUp operates flights from Chișinău International Airport in Moldova, serving destinations in Spain, Greece, France, and other countries.
For us, this is more than just a flight. We understand that for our military personnel and veterans, every journey often carries special meaning—whether it’s travel for medical treatment, a long-awaited visit to family, or a chance to briefly change their surroundings and recharge. That’s why we want to make this journey as easy and accessible as possible—as a sign of our gratitude and support for those who do so much for Ukraine every day.

This initiative represents a significant step in supporting veterans and combat participants who need affordable travel options.
The launch of the 'Wings of Gratitude' program by SkyUp highlights a growing focus on the needs of veterans and combat participants in Ukraine. As many people who have experienced war require psychological and physical rehabilitation, accessible travel can play a key role in their recovery. This initiative also underscores the business sector’s commitment to socially important projects and to helping those who defend the country.
