It has been over three years since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, leading to significant damage to aviation assets, including the destruction of the Antonov An-225. In this context, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington.
The meeting follows a recent encounter between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Several European leaders are traveling to the United States to show support for Zelenskyy’s efforts to secure peace in Ukraine, resulting in numerous government jets crossing the North Atlantic.
According to online reports, Zelenskyy traveled on a Ukrainian Government-owned Airbus Corporate Jets ACJ319 (registration UR-ABA). Tracking data from AirNav Radar indicates that the aircraft departed Melsbroek Air Base in Belgium at 18:06 local time yesterday and landed at Joint Base Andrews (ADW) in Maryland at 20:24 local time after an eight-hour flight. The jet had earlier flown from Krakow to Melsbroek via Rzeszow. Fleet information from Planespotters.net shows that UR-ABA is nearly 18 years old and was originally delivered to JetAlliance before being acquired by the Ukrainian Government in December 2008.
