Kiev flights now have competition

KIEV in the Ukraine is now served by two airlines from Heathrow.  British Airways has been joined by bmi offering daily services.  One World v Star Alliance.  The new service is timed to offer connections each way to Aberdeen, Belfast, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester  and Dublin.  Bmi’s new Chauffeur Drive service is available on the route for fully flexible Business Class travellers.  Kiev, formerly part of the Soviet Union, is one of Europe’s lesser known and explored capital cities.  It is also home to key cultural attractions including the St Sophia Cathedral, a Byzantium landmark, the architecture and grandeur of which was celebrated in a recent exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.  Little known details about Kiev include the fact that it is listed as one of the greenest cities in the world by the United Nations and boasts over 60 parks and green spaces.  In recent years, the Ukrainian spelling Kyiv has been internationally recognised and in 2008 the city competed for a spot on the international version of the board game Monopoly.  www.flybmi.com
