A year after Transaero’s flight stopping, the company's management approved a plan for creating a new air carrier on its basis. It is difficult to believe in the reality of this idea: an external observation was introduced in Transaero, the license is withdrawn, the planes returned to the lesslers, and the debt to banks - 92 billion rubles. Republic found out the details of the plan, talked with its initiators and tried to understand why it was needed.

The authors of the idea

As the REPULIC correspondent told two sources familiar with the company's plans, the ideologist of the Transaero Renaissance project, the former managing director of the TPG Aurora Foundation, Boris Karlov, who, together with the Investbanker Salavat Resbayev in the mid-2000s, tried to create the first Loucost Airnova in Russia. The airline Karlov and Resbaev in the end did not run, without agreeing with American partners. But on the basis of the project, the first two Russian discounters were launched : what was left of Airnova was bought by the owner of Kraseira Boris Abramovich and turned Sky Express into a airline, and the American investment fund, based on the same developments, was launched by the Avianova Luokoster.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
