The company was founded in 1999.[3]
In 2013, Bukovyna was one of two Ukrainian airlines that had sanctions imposed against them by the Government of the United States. Bukovyna Airlines was hit with sanctions because it was leasing its US-built McDonnell Douglas MD-80 series aircraft to Iranian airlines Mahan Air and Iran Air. The Iranian airlines were themselves under sanction by the US government.[4][5]
In February 2021, the Ukrainian authorities revoked the airline's operational license, shutting all operations down.[1]
The Bukovyna Airlines fleet consisted of the following aircraft as of September 2020:[6]
