I am not very familiar with the product on Transatlantic routes, but within Europe this airline is very capable. Business Class product on intraeuropean routes is quite nice, pre-departure drinks, cloakroom for coats, nice hot meals, beverages
They also offer Business Class lounge access at most airports they fly to
I would probably compare this airline to Aeroflot or Malev, nothing special in terms of service, but it delivers a decent product and an excellent value, especially considering the price you are going to pay
Also, their planes are all Boeing jets 737 and 767

They have been around for 10 years now, are a joint venture between Ukrainian and Netherlands investors, and now have an all-Boeing fleet (6 737, 1 767-300, all secondhand). Many of their European routes are to the old "Eastern Europe". One of several Ukrainian airlines of a similar size (eg Ukraine International, Air Ukraine).

I'll report back if end up flying with them. At this point it's just one possibilty out of several. I know I need to go to Gomel in Belarus and may also have a meeting in Kiev. So I guess I'll fly into Kiev then take a train or into Minsk and take a car.
