Dobrolet (Moscow Sheremetyevo) will incorporate an ex-Aeroflot SSJ 100/95, RA-89023 (msn 95041), into its fleet ahead of its much anticipated launch this summer. The move was given the go-ahead following an Aeroflot (SU, Moscow Sheremetyevo) board meeting in late April.

With one B737-800 already delivered, the LCC will take delivery of a further seven of the type during the course of the year with plans to serve the Russian domestic market as well as Eastern Europe, Germany, Italy and the Middle East.

It is currently undergoing certification with the Russian authorities.
