The airline began cargo operations with a Boeing 737-200 aircraft on 13 November 1994 to London and Amsterdam. On 25 April 2014, UIA began non-stop flights from Kiev to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.

In October 2015 UIA was banned by Russian government from flying to Russian destinations as a response to a ban by Ukrainian government of Russian airlines from flying into Ukraine. Since June 2016 most of UIA’s international flights are sold with the basic “hand luggage-only tariff”. If passengers are booking this tariff and want to check in luggage, fees up to USD 60 per flight will be charged.
