Fares/Ticketing

According to the newspaper Kommersant, the airline has announced that it will offer 400,000 tickets to passengers at an 'ultralow' price during the 2006 winter schedule. Prices range from 900 to 1400 Russian roubles. The strategy has been adopted to encourage more people to fly who generally wouldn't, thus increasing the airline's load factors. The tickets have to be purchased up to thirty days before the flight, they have to be bought on the internet, and are only applicable on domestic routes. [4] Unfortunately, the tax policy was not stable even for one month. At the beginning of December, the company has suddenly five times raised its 'ultraflow' prices and declined them on some important routes (e.g. flights to Moscow). However, some reduced prices on the foreign routes were applied.
