Russia’s Kaliningrad region eyes new carrier
The Kaliningrad region of Russia wants to establish a regional airline. Local authorities have discussed creating a new carrier with Syktyvkar-based regional Komiaviatrans Airline and Embraer representatives in Russia, the Kaliningrad govt said Feb. 21. “Due to the geographic location of the Kaliningrad region, we need a low-cost air service [connecting the region] with the main territory of Russia as well as with European countries,” Kaliningrad representative Alexander Derkach said. Komiaviatrans CE Alexander Ponomarev said the carrier is ready to take part in this initiative, and has a background in developing a network with routes up to 3,000 km and operating a fleet that can carry from 20 to 120 passengers. The Russian govt subsidises routes connecting Kaliningrad with the main part of the country. <br/>
