In 1981 the aircraft was transferred to the Ukrainian Civil Aviation Division based in Zhulyany Airport in Kyiv (modern day Sikorsky Airport), continuing to operate for Aeroflot. In 1991 after the fall of the Soviet Union, the newly formed base of Air Ukraine (successor of the Ukrainian Division of Aeroflot) began operating the Antonov as UR-30026 from Zhulyany.
