Ukrvozdukhput (Ukrainian Society of Airways, Ukrainski Vosdukhni Put [1]) was an airline based in Kharkiv, Ukrainian SSR during the interbellum. It operated scheduled domestic (USSR) services. It was the first civil aviation company of Ukraine.
History
Founded on June 1, 1923 Ukvozduchput began operating on April 15, 1925 when it offered service from Kharkiv to Odessa and Kiev. From June 15, 1925 the company also offered flights to Moscow and Rostov-on-Don, completing its network centered on Kharkiv.
Ukrvozdukhput was the second scheduled airline ever in the Soviet Union (after Deruluft).[2]
By 1928, Ukvozduchput was carrying more than 3,000 passengers a year. But, the Soviet central government's "Five-Year Plan" called for all air service in the Soviet Union to be controlled by one government agency. In 1929, Ukvozduchput was absorbed into the newly formed national airline Dobrolet (along with the other Soviet operators -- Zakavia and Deruluft). [3]
