Aeroflot invited the Ministry of Transportation to legalize Ovever

Excess accompaniment is a situation in which the airline sold more tickets than places in the aircraft cabin. Now this practice is not enshrined in the legislation, they explained to the agency in the Ministry of Transportation.

Aeroflot proposed to allow the passenger to conclude a transport agreement in an overload, providing the right of the transporter to change the transport terms with the provision of compensation to the passenger. How will passengers report, receive their consent or rejection, will provide compensation and return the money until it is reported?

The Ministry of Transport said that they oppose the violations of the rights of Russians in case of negative maintenance due to excessive. “In this sense, the Ministry of Organized Transportation of Labor with Airlines to find a mutual recovery for passengers and airlines to solve this problem and amend the legislation aimed at guaranteeing the protection of passengers under overload, including those that establish the amount of compensation for passengers. ” The department said.

In November, Senator Ayrat Gibatdinov sent an appeal to the Ministry of Transportation with a proposal to determine the concept of exuberant in Russian legislation and prohibit its use by airlines. The politician said that the overvaluation “really violates the rights of passengers to high quality service” and indicates the dishonesty of carriers.

In February 2021, Aeroflot proposed to introduce a rate that would allow airlines to change the conditions for passenger transport that bought a ticket at that rate, including the date, flight and route. The experts surveyed by Vedomosti then described the proposal of the carrier “veiled by the legalization of the excess bear”.
