Ukraine's newest airline, SuperNova, has successfully completed its inaugural commercial flight using a Boeing 737-800. The aircraft transported cargo from Budapest, Hungary, to Chisinau, Moldova, as Ukraine's airspace remains closed to civilian flights.

The airline recently acquired a commercial permit to operate within the European Union with its Boeing 737-800. The first shipment consisted of nearly 20 tons of goods ordered by Moldovan customers from the global marketplace Temu. Previously, this route relied on road transportation.

SuperNova Airlines received its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) in January and is initiating services to nearby airports while awaiting the reopening of Ukrainian airspace. Data from Flightradar24 indicates that the freighter departed Budapest Airport at 01:43 and landed in Chisinau International Airport at 03:55 on November 10th.

Viacheslav Klymov, co-founder of the NOVA group, expressed his pride on LinkedIn: "I’m incredibly proud to see our aircraft flying over Europe—under the Ukrainian flag, with Ukrainian call signs, and crewed by Ukrainian pilots." He emphasized the significance of this flight for maintaining pilot skills and refining charter flight processes.

The Nova Posta group has continued delivering mail throughout the conflict and played a crucial role in transporting supplies across Ukraine. It took two years to register the new airline, which previously operated using wet-leased ATR Aircraft.

The newly converted Boeing 737-800SF first flew in 2007 with Air Berlin and later Royal Flight before undergoing cargo conversion earlier this year. The aircraft now bears a Ukrainian registration number and displays the Ukrainian flag on its wingtips.

SuperNova Airlines plans long-haul cargo flights to destinations such as the United States and China. Klymov highlighted their journey: "We have come a long way: from finding lessors who do not want to cooperate with a company in a country at war to certifying commercial flights under the conditions of closed Ukrainian skies."

The airline aims to start regular operations this winter season and plans future routes from Lviv and Kyiv once airspace reopens.
