In the summer of 2025, a new airline will appear in Poland: where will Ukrainians be able to fly?

In 2025, a new airline, Air 001, from the tour operator Itaka, will start operating in Poland. Ukrainians will be able to travel to Turkey, Egypt, Greece, and other warm countries from Polish cities. Find out what will change in the travel market
Travel enthusiasts will have new opportunities: in the summer of 2025, a new airline, Air 001, created by the well-known travel operator Itaka, will appear in the Polish sky. This step will allow the company to strengthen its brand and expand its travel offer on the market.
Own airline is a new level for Itaka
Itaka has long been associated with organized all-inclusive tours, and now it is moving to a new level by creating its own airline. The project is being implemented in cooperation with Bulgarian airline Electra Airways, which will provide aircraft and full technical support.
Two Airbus A320 aircraft have already been leased, and in the summer season of 2025, four aircraft will operate under the Air 001 brand - three A320s and one A321. This will not only optimize logistics, but also allow Itaka to create schedules, manage prices, and routes without intermediaries.
Destinations of interest to Ukrainians
Air 001 flights will be available from four Polish airports: Katowice, Warsaw, Wroclaw, and Poznan. The program includes destinations popular with Ukrainian tourists:
Turkey
Egypt
Greece
Albania
Canary Islands
Cape Verde
These resorts are traditionally in demand among travelers, and the launch of the new airline will allow them to avoid overpayments, reduce transfer times and receive more predictable service.

Flexibility and independence
The launch of Air 001 is not only a technical innovation, but also a strategic decision. According to Itaka Holdings Vice President Petr Henic, the company gains more control over the charter program and is freed from the need to negotiate prices and schedules with other carriers.
“Thanks to the model of cooperation with Electra Airways, all the problems and risks associated with having our own domestic airline have been eliminated,” he emphasized.
What does this mean for Ukrainians?
As Poland is an important transit country for Ukrainians, the launch of the new airline opens up convenient and affordable vacation opportunities. Especially for those who live near the Polish border or travel through major Polish hubs. Air 001 can become a profitable alternative to expensive European airlines and add competition to popular tourist routes.
