Kiwi.com joins forces with VisitUkraine to provide travel options

By implementing Kiwi.com’s widget, VisitUkraine aims to offer 6 million Ukrainians, who were forced to flee, the most affordable travel tickets to get to their final destination anywhere in the world.
VisitUkraine is the only Ukrainian web portal that provides both Ukrainians and foreigners with the most up-to-date information on travel requirements, restrictions, insurance, and additional information about the ongoing war in Ukraine. Thanks to Kiwi.com’s virtually interlined itineraries, VisitUkraine website visitors can now search for the best connections from any A to any B for the lowest price. In addition, by buying tickets via Visit Ukraine, travelers support unique Ukrainian project.
Anton Taranenko, Chief Executive Officer at VisitUkraine said, “Millions of Ukrainians were forced to leave their homes and many more looked to help relatives reach countries accepting refugees. The new flight booking service added to our website and powered by Kiwi.com, will allow such refugees to find all the necessary information about help offered abroad and documents required, and then to find and book the best route to their required destination directly with Kiwi.com.”
Golan Shaked, Chief Commercial Officer at Kiwi.com added, “As an organisation we have looked at how we can help and support Ukrainians fleeing the war, this has included donations to charities involved and opening a school in our headquarters for refugees amongst other actions. Now is our chance to support through bringing our business expertise to a partnership with VisitUkraine using our ability to find flights and routes that other providers cannot see at affordable prices. We very much look forward to partnering with VisitUkraine in this way.”
