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.
