New low-cost carrier Dobrolyot, a subsidiary of Aeroflot, is expected to receive all of the necessary approvals to begin charter flight operations in July. Its first flights are plans to St. Petersburg, Samara, Krasnodar and Yekaterinburg but the airline still has to decide on a home airport. The carrier will take delivery of three 737-800s from April to August.
Dobrolyot plans to increase its fleet to eight aircraft by the end of November and is expected to seek approval for a license to perform regular flights.
