Having stopped flights due to EU sanctions, the Dobrolet Lawkoster began to study options for resuming activities. The Board of Directors of the airline discussed the possibility of re-registering the company to a new legal entity or switching from Boeing aircraft to Russian SSJ-100, but did not make a certain decision, Kommersant writes.
At the transition to Russian aircraft, the profile deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin also insists, but, as experts warn, in the event of a “good dealer”, the use of domestic aircraft can worsen the economy of the low-budget carrier project.
At a meeting of the Council, as options for continuing the activity, a re-registration of Dobralets for a new legal entity, the creation of a new Aeroflot subsidiary or the introduction of additional SSJ-100 aircraft into the Park of Aeroflot. “No final decision was made,” says a source familiar with the course of the discussion. The decision must be coordinated “at the highest level,” he explains.
In "Dobroleus" and "Aeroflot" refused to comment.
