In 2016, SkyUp Airlines became a registered company in Kiev. On December 14, 2017, Minister of Infrastructure Volodymyr Omelyan announced a new private airline called SkyUp Airlines. In the first year of the company mainly popular summer destinations were offered as charter flights, as well as scheduled flights within Ukraine and to several international destinations .

SkyUp Airlines gave a plane to the Ukrainian government on February 20, 2020 to fly Ukrainian citizens out of the Covid-19 contaminated area of Wuhan .
