Pegasus Asia (Bishkek) has delayed the launch of its Bishkek to Chelyabinsk Balandino flights until the second quarter of 2014. A joint venture between Pegasus Airlines (PC, Istanbul Sabiha Gökcen) and Air Manas (MBB, Bishkek), Pegasus Asia had planned to début the route during the winter of 2012/13. Once operational, flights to Chelyabinsk, the start-up's first outside either Kyrgyzstan or Turkey, will be followed by services to other Russian cities including Krasnoyarsk Yemelyanovo, Surgut, Perm Bolshoye Savino and Moscow.
