Rosaviatsia does not plan to limit the number of charter flights of foreign carriers to Russia.

Charter flights of foreign airlines to Russia are carried out on the basis of permits issued by the Federal Air Transport Agency at the request of the carrier.

EKATERINBURG, September 16 – RIA Novosti. The Federal Air Transport Agency does not plan to limit the number of charter flights of foreign carriers to Russia, the head of the department, Dmitry Yadrov, told RIA Novosti on the sidelines of the International Youth Festival.

“It’s not planned yet; the Ministry of Transport and the Federal Air Transport Agency do not have this on their agenda,” Yadrov answered the question of whether there are plans to limit the number of charter flights of foreign airlines on the Russian market.

Currently, charter flights of foreign airlines to Russia are carried out on the basis of permits issued by the Federal Air Transport Agency at the request of the carrier.

Earlier in September, Aeroflot CEO Sergei Aleksandrovsky said that the share of foreign airlines in the Russian market had grown sharply. Against this background, he proposed limiting the number of permits for foreign airlines to operate charter flights on international routes.
