Air tickets in Russia are set to rise sharply: SZRU named the reasons for the price increase

The largest Russian airline 'Aeroflot' has announced an increase in air ticket prices in the country. According to the Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service, during the first half of this year, ticket prices have already risen by 6%, but this is just the beginning.

The reason for the price increase is the rapid increase in the costs of servicing aircraft and passengers. The lack of spare parts and maintenance services, caused by sanctions, leads to an increase in the number of breakdowns and emergency landings, which threatens the safety of air travel in Russia.

'Despite claims that sanctions have no effect, the aviation industry of the Russian Federation is feeling their consequences very much. Restrictions on access to modern aircraft, spare parts, and services only deepen the crisis in Russian aviation. Unfortunately, the main victims in this situation are the passengers, who are already experiencing rising costs for air travel,'

- emphasized the SZRU. The increase in air ticket prices in Russia is becoming an increasingly larger problem for passengers, who more frequently find themselves hostages to the negative consequences of sanctions and the crisis in the Russian aviation sector.
