Pobeda gave part of the flights to other companies

The interlocutor of RBC in the Aeroflot group said that the problem affected about 30 flights. A source in one of the Russian airlines says that the flights will be transferred to several carriers,

The Pobeda low-cost airline (a subsidiary of Aeroflot) will give up part of its flights to other airlines due to the infection of pilots with the CORONAVIRUS infection covid-19 . This was reported to RBC by a source in the Aeroflot group. This information was confirmed by a source in the industry.

According to a source in the Aeroflot group, the low-cost airline is forced to transfer part of the flights to other airlines because it has encountered the problem of coronavirus infection among pilots. “This is a local problem, it affected about 30 flights (round trip) for four to five days,” he said.

The interlocutor added that an ordinary low-cost airline could afford massive delays, but Pobeda has such a large profit that it can afford to transfer passengers to other airlines so as not to cause massive customer dissatisfaction.

Pobeda criticized the idea to let only vaccinated passengers on board

A source in the aviation industry confirmed that the reason for the transfer of flights was the coronavirus among the pilots of Pobeda.
