Viktor Medvid, head of a consulting company:
- Part of Aerosvit's money was supposed to be used to pay salaries, but instead it went to the same Privat group to repay a loan... And although the guilt was proven, the punishment is essentially ridiculous. The former CEO of Aerosvit got off with a fine of 10 thousand hryvnias. Employees of the company believe that its collapse was clearly planned. For several years, Aerosvit deliberately overpaid for almost everything - from fuel to food for passengers.
Viktor Medvid, head of a consulting company:
- According to various estimates, several billion hryvnias of assets were withdrawn from the company in one form or another, which went through various structures to the people who controlled the company at that time.
With the consent of Privat Group, the airplanes and the right to operate almost all Aerosvit flights were transferred to UIA. The bankrupt company asked to transfer them to its main competitor on its own - on the eve of the collapse. The State Aviation Administration agreed without hesitation.
Sergiy Dorotych, air transportation market expert:
- UIA shares are owned by 100%, according to my information, a Cypriot company. Even the State Property Fund does not know who the owner of this Cyprus company is, and there are guesses that it is Mr. Kolomoisky.
At the end of the 12th year, UIA was run by Aron Mayberg. He was the man who stood at the origins of Aerosvit and had been its shareholder for a long time. The relationship between UIA and Aerosvit went to court. This is public, but privately, they obviously came to an agreement. Although UIA denies that Kolomoisky is a shareholder.
Veniamin Tymoshenko, vice president of the Civil Aviation Flight Crew Trade Union-Association of Ukraine:
- When thousands of passengers were sitting in Boryspil airport in December 2012. The co-owners of Aerosvit got on a plane and flew to the seas. Mr. Mayberg was there personally, Mr. Kolomoisky was there personally with his families.
Viktor Medvid, head of a consulting company:
- Today, you see the role Kolomoisky plays, and given his political role, it is clear that it is very difficult to protect the interests of the victims at the moment.
UIA may now follow Aerosvit's fate. Our sources say that employees are already being sent on vacation at their own expense. And the next goal of the Privat group is airports, for example, Boryspil. So far, Kolomoisky has no influence on its management, but he is already trying to put his own person in charge. But here's a detail: 10 years ago, it was Aerosvit that received the land for the new terminal in Boryspil. The Privat Group never built it, but it completely ruined the airport's development strategy, which it is now trying to privatize.
