KIEV, Aug. 9 – A new agreement on air communications between Israel and Ukraine foresees an increase in the number of flights between the countries from 28 to 42 per week and the number of regular carriers from two to three from each country, Israeli Tourism Minister Stas Misezhnikov said.

"Five airlines fly between our countries today. I have no doubts that the increase in the number of flights and carriers will only have positive consequences for tourism," he said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
