Russia's Pobeda budget airline has begun selling tickets for flights to Munich and Zurich. The flights will begin on March 3, the company said in a statement Tuesday.
Pobeda will operate daily flights to the new destinations, according to the statement. Ticket prices start from 999 rubles ($13).
However, the flights in question will operate to Germany's Memmingen airport and bus transfers to Zurich and Munich will be provided.
Pobeda is a subsidiary of Russia's flagship carrier Aeroflot. It was launched in 2014 to replace Aeroflot's low-cost airline Dobrolyot, which was forced to close down because of Western sanctions.
In December, Pobeda launched its first flights to international destinations — to Slovakia's Bratislava and Austria's Vienna.
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.
