MOSCOW, October 28.
/TASS/. Russian Aeroflot Airlines’ low cost company will operate under
the brand name Pobeda, a source in the Aeroflot group told TASS on
Tuesday.
“This brand will be promoted, with the company’s planes
bearing its logo. Its website pobeda.aero will be launched soon,” the
source said, adding that Byudzhetny Perevozchik, Aeroflot’s new low-cost
affiliate, would be the airline’s legal entity.
Earlier on
Tuesday, Byudzhetny Perevozchik announced the start of ticket sales from
November 1. The flights will start from November 17 from Moscow’s
Vnukovo International Airport. According to the company's website, a
ticket will cost from $23.82. The price does not envision additional
fees.
Byudzhetny Perevozchik officially applied to the Federal
Air Transport Agency for an air operator certificate in early October.
The fleet of the new company has Boeing-737-800 Next Generation (NG)
planes, which will fly from Moscow to Belgorod and Volgograd in the
European part of Russia, to Kazan and Samara on the Volga River, to
Yekaterinburg and Ufa in the Urals Federal District, and to the Siberian
cities of Tyumen and Surgut.
Byudzhetny Perevozchik was
established by Aeroflot in mid-September to replace another low cost
affiliate Dobrolyot, which suspended its flights from August 4 in the
wake of European Union’s sanctions that prompted several European
counteragents to annul leasing, maintenance and insurance contracts, and
deny navigation information.
