Airlines associated with tour operators have lost almost half of their fleet due to sanctions. The leased boats were retained abroad. To avoid losses, companies refocused on sending tourists to Egypt and Turkey.
RBC, citing carriers, estimated that airlines lost around 44 planesnamely:
- Nordwind and Pegas Fly (Pegas Touristik): more than 20 ocean liners;
- Azur Air (Anex Tour) – 11 aircraft;
- Royal Flight (Coral Travel) – 11 aircraft;
- iFly (Tez Tour) – 2 planes.
Thus, the five named airlines lost 39% of their fleet.
As a result, carriers’ passenger traffic has dropped significantly, for example, Nordwind and Pegas Fly expect a 50% reduction in traffic by the end of 2022. To avoid difficulties, tour operators refocused on flights to Egypt and Turkey.
