Bravo Airways was a Ukrainian charter airline based at Kyiv Zhuliany International Airport.
In May 2019, the airline announced the end of all charter operations.[1] A Bravo Airways Boeing 737-500 and one of their McDonnell Douglas MD-83s were seized in Kyiv and put on auction in July 2021.[2][3]
In 2015, the FlyErbil brand was launched, with its aim to connect Iraqi Kurdistan to Europe via Ukraine.[4] The airline was founded in 2015, but there was a three-year delay before its first launch due to the ISIL offensive in northern Iraq. Flights were operated by two Boeing 737 aircraft with FlyErbil branding, but remained registered in Ukraine.
In May 2019 Bravo Airways ended all charter flights.[5]
From 2021 to 2022, the assets of the company was auctioned off.[6][7] On 15 May 2024, Bravo Airways was declared bankrupt and liquidated by the Kyiv City Commercial Court.[8][9]
