TOMSK, Sep 16 – RIA Tomsk. Aeroflot has cancelled all three Tomsk-Moscow-Tomsk flights from November 1, 2021, and suggests that passengers buy tickets of its subsidiary Pobeda Airlines, which will fly to the capital once a day, follows from a schedule on the airline's website.
According to the website, Aeroflot offers passengers to fly from Tomsk to Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport on one morning flight only on November 1 and indicates Pobeda Airlines as the carrier. The return flight - from Moscow to Tomsk – is also a single one, and by the same Pobeda.
It was previously reported that from August 2 to September 25 the local airport runway is under reconstruction in Tomsk and the majority of interregional flights were cancelled. However, before the renovation, Aeroflot was operating two morning flights and one evening flight to the capital. Pobeda has flown from Tomsk once in the early morning since June 11.
As reported earlier by Kommersant, Aeroflot will stop flying directly to Moscow from Omsk on November 1. Aeroflot's subsidiaries Pobeda and Rossiya will also operate flights there. In turn, Izvestia earlier wrote that in 2021 Aeroflot will stop flying to 26 cities in Russia (46% of its destinations), but later Aeroflot denied this information, saying that each route will be decided separately.
RIA Tomsk expects to receive comments from the authorities at a later date.
