The Russian government has already revoked laws prohibiting the sale of non-refundable tickets and employment of foreign pilots since the state-carrier announced plans to launch low-cost airline Dobrolet last year, chief executive Vitaly Saveliev said. But allowing Russia’s new budget airline to charge for food and baggage would result in ticket prices up to 40 percent cheaper than Aeroflot’s traditional economy class service.”
