Jan 9, 2007 (newstodate): Sky Express, Russia's first low-cost operator, had to delay its launch flight, slated for December, 2006.
-We are still waiting for the delivery of our second aircraft, now expected by this week, and this is the reason for the postponement, says Vitaly Korenyugin, Sky Express press secretary.
Sky Express will start with operating two Boeing 737-300 aircraft, and a fleet of 18 Boeing 737 aircraft is envisaged towards the end of 2007.
Going for a share of seven percent of the market for Russian domestic traffic by the end of this year, the carrier eventually aims a market share by 25 percent in the longer perspective.
