Oct 27, 2015 (newstodate): The Russian low-cost carrier Pobeda, a subsidiary of Aeroflot, has now been cleared to opening of international flight services.
Already this summer, Pobeda filed requests with Russia's aviation regulatory body Rosaviatsia for opening of services on routes to Hungary, Germany, Slovakia, France and Belarus.
The request was, however, turned down referring to the prevailing requirement on airlines to prove at least two years of domestic scheduled services before qualifying for international scheduled flights.
Rosaviatsia has now obtained amendments to local laws governing the issuance of foreign traffic rights, freeing Pobeda to add international services from Moscow Vnukovo to destinations in Germany, Slovakia, France, and Belarus.
Pobeda may now serve Dresden and Cologne/Bonn in Germany with up to seven weekly rotations, Bratislava in Slovakia may get up to 10 weekly flights, and Minsk may be served with up to 14 weekly rotations, while Pobeda may also offer up to 17 charter flights to Chambery during the winter period.
Pobeda first took to the air on Dec. 1, 2014, and now operates a fleet comprising 12 Boeing 737-800 aircraft on a route network including some 40 regional routes to and from Moscow.
