In particular, the activities of airlines are considered: Ryanair, Wizz Air, German Wings, Meridiana, Ernest Airlines, Vueling Airlines, AegeanAir, Air Baltic, Austrian Airlines, and others. The activity of European low-cost carriers in the number of flights and directions of passenger transportation in Ukraine is evaluated.
