This was the first trip I took after the Pandemic started, almost over a year I didn't travel for leisure.

I flew a day trip from Kiev with Motor Sich.

Flight details

Kiev (IEV) - Lviv (LWO )
M9 263
DEPARTURE 10:00
ARRIVAL 11:15
AIRCRAFT : ANTONOV AN-140 UR-14005
When I booked my flight, the aircraft type was shown as AN-24. However while driving to the aircraft I surprisingly saw I was flying UR-14005, Built in 2003. It is special since it's the only aircraft of it's type worldwide being used for passenger transport.
The AN-140 was not a big selling aircraft and was involved in 5 fatal crashes of the years since it's development in 1997.
Boarding was punctual at Gate G3. The Domestic terminal is very small with just a few gates
UR-MSI, the AN-24 I was supposed to fly on flew to Odessa that day.
Hopefully I can still fly on that one in the future !
Motor Sich provides a bottle of water and a cookie with a candy on both flights.
The flight is only 1 hour thus I think it's a nice gesture from the airline.

Lviv (LWO) - Kiev (IEV)
M9 264
DEPARTURE 17:05
ARRIVAL 18:25
AIRCRAFT : ANTONOV AN-140 UR-14005
The same aircraft took me back to Kiev as Motor Sich often seems to fly somewhere from Kiev and the plane stays there the whole day. Thus again I flew on the AN-140 but this time I had a different seat.
Landing in Kiev
I had two great flights with Motor Sich. They were on time. Comfortable and I received a free drink and snack on a one hour flight. On top I visited Lviv which is a fantastic and beautiful city!
The Price of my return flight was 90 Euro.
