No, as of March 2026, Ukrainian airspace remains completely closed to all civil aviation due to the ongoing active war zone following the 2022 invasion. There are no commercial flights operating into or over Ukraine, and the region is classified as an "Extreme Aviation Emergency" area. Major aviation authorities, including EASA and the FAA, mandate a 100-nautical-mile buffer zone around the Ukrainian borders where pilots must exercise extreme caution due to widespread GPS jamming and the risk of accidental engagement by air defense systems. Travelers wishing to reach Ukraine must fly into neighboring countries like Poland (Rzeszów or Warsaw) or Romania (Iași) and complete the journey via a long-distance train or bus. It is important to note that most travel insurance policies specifically exclude "War Risk" coverage for any travel into Ukraine at this time.
