The move to five-times-weekly flights comes as a result of the high demand on the route, driven mostly by tourism, the bilateral trade between the countries and the code-share agreement with Eithad.
The route is currently served by a Boeing 737 with a business and economy class configuration.
'A lot of work and analysis was done between Ukraine International Airlines and Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) when launching this new route but, even so, we have been encouraged by the growing demand,' said Yuri Miroshnikov president of Ukraine International Airlines.
'We are delighted to be adding to this route’s frequencies after only a short time from the intial launch and look forward to welcoming many more on board with the new five-times-weekly service,' he added.
Ahmed Al Haddabi, senior vice president of airport operations, ADAC, said: 'Ukraine International Airlines’ venture into the UAE market has been an exemplary success and to increase its frequency so soon after its launch is a testament to ADAC’s and Abu Dhabi’s ability to attract and service a growing number of international airlines.'
