Dobrolet (Moscow Sheremetyevo) has been awarded its Air Operators Certificate (AOC) by Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsyia). As it stands, the Aeroflot (SU, Moscow Sheremetyevo) subsidiary is on track to launch later next month with initial destinations to cover St. Petersburg, Ekaterinburg, Samara Kurumoch, Perm Bolshoye Savino, Makhachkala, Kaliningrad, and Novy Urengoy. Thereafter, coverage will then expand to 19 cities in 2015, then 26 cities in 2016 when international services to Kyiv Boryspil, Yerevan, and Istanbul Atatürk will also commence.
With only three aircraft on its books at present - two B737-800s and a SSJ 100/95 - the LCC plans to acquire an additional five before year end.
