Occasionally Aerosvit uses A320 and Embraer 145 on a wet lease basis.
In Autumn 2002, the first long-haul Boeing 767 aircraft was added to AeroSvit Airlines’ fleet. The company added a second Boeing 767 one year later. These aircraft have become the backbone for the first global, long-haul flight service in the history of independent Ukraine and have provided for the successful launch of five transcontinental routes between Kiev and North America (New York and Toronto), South East Asia (Bangkok) and (Ho Chi Minh City), Central Asia (Delhi) and (Colombo), and the Far East (Beijing). These operations have been integrated gradually into AeroSvit Airline’s well-established medium-haul networks in Europe, the Middle East, and CIS countries as well as with its domestic short-haul flights to Ukrainian regional centers.

Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”

sits a fleet of small black ships,

their spars like burned matchsticks.”
