24.01.2010 - Rosavia (Moscow Vnukovo) has delayed its plans to make a decision on offers received from Airbus and Boeing in December for a 65 new aircraft. Its main shareholder Rostekhnologii is reportedly considering other options for the regional carriers in which it currently holds stakes including a possible investment in Aeroflot (SU/Moscow Sheremetyevo) and cooperation with the flag carrier instead of its previous plan to build up a new competitor. In October, it had agreed with the Moscow city government to first merge Saravia (6W/Saratov), SAT Airlines (Russia) (HZ/Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk), Vladivostok Air (XF/Vladivostok) that all are under full or majority control of Rostekhnologii with Atlant-Soyuz Airlines (7B/Moscow Chkalovksy) that is owned by the Moscow city government. KMV - Kavkazskie Mineralnye Vody (KV/Mineralnye Vody), Orenair (R2/Orenburg) and Rossiya (FV/St. Petersburg) would have been merged into Rosavia at a later stage under the plan. In the meantime, Rostekhnologii has even been considered handing over Rossiya to the St. Petersburg city government because of the big financial difficulties Rossiya has been running into, so the status of the entire Rosavia project currently seems to be unclear. 11.10.2009 - Atlant-Soyuz Airlines (7B/Moscow Chkalovsky) has closed its second base in Krasnoyarsk again as part of a restructuring plan put in place by the Moscow city government that hopes to improve the financial performance of Atlant-Soyuz ahead of its proposed integration into Rosavia (Moscow Vnukovo). It has grounded three of its five Tu-154Ms as a result but is planning to lease three additional ex-Ryanair (FR/Dublin) B737-800s. It has again resumed scheduled services with its EMB-120 fleet in the meantime: Moscow Vnukovo-Brest: 3x weekly EMB-120 service starting on October 9 Moscow Vnukovo-Grodno: 3x weekly EMB-120 service resuming on October 9 Moscow Vnukovo-Liepaja: 3x weekly EMB-120 service resuming on October 10 Moscow Vnukovo-Minsk Intl 1: 4x weekly EMB-120 service resuming on October 10 20.06.2009 - Atlant-Soyuz Airlines (7B/Moscow Chkalovsky) has signed an agreement with Ilyushin Finance to lease 30 An-148s and 15 Tu-204s with deliveries starting in 2010. It has launched more new and ex-AirUnion routes: Moscow Vnukovo-Baku: 3x weekly B737-300 service has started on May 18 Moscow Vnukovo-Thessaloniki: 2x weekly B737-300 service has started on April 29 It has however given up its Moscow Vnukovo-Liepaja and Moscow Vnukovo-Pskov routes on March 16 and has suspended all scheduled operations with its three EMB-120 aircraft. It had already suspended services to Grodno, Ivanovo and Minsk Intl 1 before. It is currently reviewing possible options for its EMB-120 fleet including charter services and expects to lease fewer additional aircraft than initially planned. 20.06.2009 - Sky Express (Russia) (XW/Moscow Vnukovo) has been offered for sale to the Moscow city government for 1 USD by its 75% shareholder Vitaly Vantsev but the government which controls Atlant-Soyuz Airlines (3G/Moscow Chkalovskaya) and will be a shareholder in the new state owned Rosavia (Moscow Vnukovo) has rejected the offer as “impractical”. 25.02.2009 - Atlant-Soyuz Airlines (7B/Moscow Chkalovsky) will be fully taken over by the Moscow government ahead of its integration into Rosavia (Moscow Vnukovo). It has also leased four additional Tu-154Ms and has announced plans to lease three additional B737-300s to support its fast growth related to all of the former AirUnion routes it has taken over. |
