Flying the Antonov AN-24 with Motor Sich Airlines - Kiev to Lviv Trip Report
video description
For those of you considering MotorSich, you can easily buy tickets online on their website, and if you compare it to flying out of Borispol it is much cheaper and far more convenient if you are staying on the right bank in Kiev. The luggage restrictions are 20 kg total, both hand bag and check-in, and your carry-on luggage cannot exceed 5 kg. When you get into the An-24, it makes sense why: there are no overhead compartments to store carry-on luggage; you either put your carry-on on your lap or set it below the seat in front of you.
Overall it is a great experience and a far better option than flying out of Borispol. MotorSich from Zhulyaniy will fly to Odessa, Lviv and Zaporozhia. I highly recommend it.

I flied AN 24 from Kyiv to Zaporizhzhia (Motor-Sich. Cheap, quick, reliable. An-24 are so basic that there is nothing there to break and they can land on many runways. Btw Motor-Sich is the name of the company that makes engines for Antonov, this is their in house airline.

Thanks to your video I found out that there are still airlines that flies these kind of planes. Spooky. The sound of the engines is very nice though, haha. I like the song choice and how you overlayed it at some point with the engines' sound. Safe, happy flying!

I used to fly on these since 1986 circa. Polish Airlines. Wroclaw to Warsaw when I was 11. Almost crashed on one but all in all good memories of times when civilised people used to fly not the illiterate degenerates like nowadays. Miss those days.

Fascinating! Learing to fly the aircraft in XP-11 and I thought i'd come to hear the real engines in action, after all I've heard they're nicknamed the china shakers. Very cool video.

How reliable are these planes for commercial flights? The weight limitation of step, external engine start these things make me uncomfortable.

Flying on this plane is literally my first memories in my life. It was 1986 and I was 2 or 3 years old.
