Aeroflot announced the creation of its own loukostera, perhaps as soon as next year. Why, in Russia, 5th economy of the world, still do not have anything like this? Causes weight. His thoughts about shared first vice-president «of the Russian Union of Engineers», Ph.D. Ivan Andrievskiy.
— Reasons for which the cost was not on the territory of Russia is indeed a lot.
First, it should understand that loukost-transport — it\’s not just flights where meals for a fee, the plane without extra comfort and flights with transfers, they require a different type of airport and highway, ready to Airbus A320 or Boeing 737. Immediately obvious realities of Russia — not something many airports can boast of such opportunities, and according to all norms of international navigation rules across the country are equipped with only the capital Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Petersburg\’s Pulkovo. In addition to the inconsistencies runway, lost themselves boards Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. It is no secret that the national fleet is out of date — the average age of 13.4 years. The youngest machine boasts it is «Aeroflot», only 4.9 years of operation, which has 51 Airbus A320 and 9 Boing (B767 and B777).
The demand for Russian budget airline matured long ago. The area of the country is so large that we have to lose a whole week to get from Moscow to Vladivostok by train. Of course, it is more logical to spend a total of 9 hours on a flight. Available airlines will unload the rail network. Often, after a week with the opening of sales there is no ticket to popular destinations.
Loukostera-carrier will be in great demand on the Russian market, as most passengers do not chase the flight superior to the use of advanced technology — they just need to get from point A to point B. They can restrict hand luggage and take-away. But nice to live not forbid, if the passengers appreciate the comfort and just prefer to fly with all the conditions, nothing prevents them from buying tickets in a standard airline business class for 86000 rubles for the flight, for example, from Moscow to Vladivostok. It Primorye residents are excited to meet new airline — tickets often there are fabulous money and is much cheaper to go to Asia as a family. Their most cheap flight from the Russian capital will cost 16 — 18 thousand rubles, and then if you take a month, about the same cost and a train ticket. In addition,
it will be a great help in the development program of the Far East.
The Government will provide appropriate subsidies to airlines.
«Aeroflot» is well known to foreign tourists. Many would like to make a trip to Russia, but the high prices, especially for accommodation and flight scare. And, unfortunately, apart from the two capitals, few cities are known.
Fears of foreigners are fully justified. We compare ticket prices equal distances from Moscow to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and New York. What is included in the ticket price? When we fly to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, then immediately add the VAT when flying abroad we do not pay VAT. In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky flying IL-96 (runway does not allow to take Airbus330), which consumes kerosene twice more than the New York A330. The cost of kerosene difference of about 30%, in the U.S. $ 700 per ton, $ 1000 from us. And this is only a small part of the parameters.
Europeans are happy to use
the services of low-cost carriers

By the way, according to the travel service PrimaMedia.Travel

despite the approaching start of the school year, the high prices are not afraid — in this case the cost of the ticket will cost about 25 thousand rubles
