the Russian airline do absolutely dastardly deed sell, for example, flights that are 100% will not happen. Some carriers have started to offer customers direct flights to Vienna, Berlin, Milan and other European cities. To buy tickets for August right now, but out of the country unlikely to succeed, as Russia has not officially resumed its flights to other countries. It turns out that companies are selling people hope, and if the start of the flight so no one will give the tourists again will pay off vouchers.
By all indications, Russia is preparing soon to resume air services with other countries. Domestic carriers already sell tickets to European countries.
“Knowing that the border will not be opened, the airline is unlikely to be sold tickets in August, — says a leading analyst of Forex Optimum Ivan kapustyasky. — Most likely, the carriers were inside or notified in advance”.
Previously, the CPS have already identified a number of countries, which recommends to resume flights. Among the potential countries include: UK, Hungary, Germany, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Finland, as well as China, Vietnam, Mongolia and Sri Lanka.
it is Also possible that the CPS will approve flights in the country, which has opened borders for Russian tourists, among them Turkey, Egypt, UAE, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Maldives, Mexico and Croatia. This may be a retaliatory gesture on the part of Russia, but no official confirmation yet.
“it is Very difficult now to predict relative recovery of international air service, — said the first Vice-President of “OPORA Russia” Paul Segal. — On the one hand, there is the CPS, which assesses the epidemiological situation in different countries, and gives recommendations. On the other — the Federal tourism Agency, which wants at least a little to compensate for the loss of outbound tourist flow this year and released its recommendations. Third — the Federal air transport Agency, which is preparing to restore flights”.
According to Segal, there is another aspect: in some countries, where air travel begins to recover, again reported outbreaks of coronavirus. For example, Austria reported that the incidence came out at the performance of April and in the country re-introduced mask mode.
“the Final decision on the countries where will be able to fly Russian tourists for the CPS, but the official message yet from this Department no — emphasizes the interlocutor of “MK”. — It is likely that flights will be restored partially and for a long time, because the situation of coronavirus is very unstable”.
Professor of the Institute of industrial management of Ranepa, expert on tourism Galina Dekhtyar notes, hthen, if the authorities do not defrost air service from August 1, carriers will have to return customers with vouchers.
“Now airlines are imposing misleading consumers by selling air. Carriers that already offer tickets with departure in August, violate antitrust laws, competition law, she says. — The announcement of the start of sales means that the company has permission not flying, but it is not. In this fight to win the one who scores their planes, having all of the tickets still to resolve, the Federal air transport Agency and other agencies. If good is not willing, the Russians will receive a regular voucher”.
“as soon As it is announced about the opening of borders, tickets will rise in price. The package offer will rise in price on the average on 25-30% in comparison with that that now is in price”, — says General Director of travel company “Dolce Vita” Irina Pankova.
