Russia's Budget Airline Pobeda Plans Karlovy Vary Flights

Pobeda, Russia's only budget airline and a subsidiary of Russia's flagship carrier Aeroflot, is planning to launch flights to Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic, according to documents published on the Federal Air Transport Agency's website Tuesday.

If Pobeda receives permission to operate the Moscow-Karlovy Vary route, the airline will run seven flights per week to the Czech city, according to the website.

Pobeda, which was founded in 2014, received the right to operate to international destinations last year. In December, the company launched flights to the European cities of Bratislava and Vienna.

In February, Pobeda will begin flights to the German city of Cologne, the TASS news agency reported last month, citing company spokeswoman Yelena Selivanova.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
