In an attempt to resolve the problem with the flights, Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson tweeted: ‘Today I worked with Vitali Klitschko to help and negotiate with the director of the airport in Kiev two slots for aircraft booked by World Choice Sports to arrive at 3pm and 3.45pm.

Earlier, travel company World Choice Sports sent text messages to customers, some of whom had paid as much as £850 for a day return to Kiev, informing them they would not be able to fly. The flights scheduled to depart tomorrow were cancelled because Boryspil Airport in Kiev could not handle the aircraft. The club last night said: ‘Liverpool FC has been endeavouring to resolve the issue since it came to light and will continue to do so until all avenues have been exhausted.’ World Sports Choice, who could not be contacted directly, posted a message on their website to say customers would be entitled to a full refund.
