Czech private operator RegioJet, in cooperation with Ukrzaliznytsia, will start operating trains on the route from Prague to Ukraine and back in early 2024, International Railway Journal reports.

Since RegioJet does not have a license to operate in Ukraine, the new flight will be operated jointly with Ukrzaliznytsia. At the same time, RegioJet will pay a fee for access to the track to the UZ Infrastructure Management Department. The schedule for 2024, which will come into effect on December 10 this year, plans to provide a connection with UZ's domestic service in Chop.

Prague - Chop train route

Initially, the connection to Chop will be operated by a three-car train with a capacity of 140 passengers (80 sleeping and 60 sitting seats). Between Prague and Košice (Slovakia), the train will be operated by the daily RegioJet Praha - Košice - Humenné service with a maximum length of 18 cars.

The train service will be operated through the border crossing point Čierna nad Tisou in Slovakia.

New international trains from Ukraine: what carriers are planning

RegioJet aims to connect Ukraine with other capitals in Central Europe in the future with connections to Berlin via the border crossing in Przemysl (Poland), as well as from Vienna to Chop via Budapest and the Záhony border crossing in Hungary. However, the carrier notes that the new flights will require additional investment in infrastructure and a possible extension of the 1435 mm gauge to Lviv in Ukraine.
