The customer demand is already evident: more than 30% of seats on April flights to Sochi have already been sold. Half of the tickets for flights to Kaliningrad for April–June have also been booked, with some 77% booked for the May holidays. In turn, we expect that 90% of seats on the Volgograd–Kazan flight will be filled, while the share of transfers via the capital of Tatarstan has reached10%,” says Alexandra Galikbarova, Head of Sales Organisation.
