Pobeda to open second Moscow base with flights from Sheremetyevo

Russian budget carrier Pobeda is to open services from a second Moscow base, operating from the capital’s Sheremetyevo airport. Pobeda is part of Aeroflot Group alongside Aeroflot and Rossiya. Moscow Sheremetyevo is Aeroflot’s main base. The expansion will involve Pobeda’s opening services to 12 cities in Russia, as well as the Turkish resort of Antalya. Aeroflot Group has embarked on a strategic development plan which involves restructuring the route network and will take into account routes where demand for low-cost flights is greatest. Pobeda’s entry to Sheremetyevo is part of this re-organisation. The airline has been operating from Moscow Vnukovo and had previously considered branching into Moscow Domodedovo, owing to a lack of available capacity at Sheremetyevo.<br/>
