Competences of practical activity of a lawyer of domestic airlines

On December 10, 2020, within the framework of the signed Memorandum of Cooperation between the National Aviation University and SkyUp Airlines, an online tour was conducted for students of the Faculty of Law by the office of the largest domestic low-cost carrier.

The study tour was conducted by representatives of the top management of the airline.  In particular, Maria Myronchuk, HR Business Partner, told students about the scope of its activities, comparing his position with an interesting journey, as HR Business Partner is a strategist who participates in the company's projects with top managers, negotiates, helps resolve conflicts in  team and knows exactly how to use the potential of employees to increase the profitability of the company.  HR Business Partner noted the importance, especially in the context of the aviation crisis caused by the pandemic, to profess the core values of the company: friendliness, innovation, communication, responsibility and trust.

Dmytro Tolkachov, Director of Legal Affairs, introduced the students to the work of the airline's legal department and stressed several key theses that should help students decide on the direction of their future profession. After all, an aviation lawyer must be well versed in international law, air law, administrative process, be able to negotiate with partners, clients and regulatory authorities, and most importantly always feel proud of their profession.

During the discussion of issues related to the specifics of the SkyUp Airlines office, students of the Faculty of Law received an invitation to do an internship at the airline in order to acquire the necessary skills of a lawyer in aviation law. It was previously agreed that law students would have this opportunity next semester.
