Russian's flagship air carrier Aeroflot has lowered euro prices of outbound flights by 10 percent, gazeta.ru reported on Wednesday.
The company stated in a press release that the reduction will apply to all flights provided by Aeroflot and their subsidiary companies from locations in Russia to destinations abroad.
The lower prices will be available on all advertised international flights, with the exception of promotional deals, flights that pass through former CIS states and routes that are operated by the Aurora air company, which is part of the Aeroflot group.
“A significant reduction in prices for the aforementioned routes was made in December 2015. The discount does not apply to tariffs that provide passengers with a transfer to foreign airports with rival airlines,” Aeroflot announced.
The company stressed that the price reductions were implemented to compensate Russians for the increased costs of international air travel in connection with the weakening ruble.
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.
Remind me later.
