I mean airports are pretty busy places. All those people aren't using wings to get around. So a large part of them are getting on those planes and flying. So what is up with airlines that they aren't making money? Here, in Russia anywhere. I mean come on.

I read back in October somewhere that Aeroflot is transferring the assets of grounded Dobrolet (2nd) (Moscow) to its new subsidiary called Byudzhetny Perevozchik, (translated as Budgetary Carrier).
I remember thinking it interesting, I'm suspecting they will let Aeroflot flop once all assets are transferred to wipe debt....

I remember the short haul Aeroflot craft I took in '91 . The metal was 19 years old, and considered young Oh the heating didn't work well either we froze and my friend nearly went hypothermic lol, great days.....I was younger and penny-pinching on tickets for backpacking round the world, no way I would have done that flight even 5 years later.
