Rosaviation decided in the course of its November meeting on chartered flights permissions to impose a ban on VIM Avia, Tatarstan, and Yakutia operating flights to Europe, the Association of Russian tour operators reports.

‘VIM Avia, Tatarstan, and Yakutia will not be able to operate their New Year flight schemes to Bulgaria, Estonia, France, Italy, or Spain because of the ban imposed by Rosaviation on their Europe-bound flights. Transaero was also denied the permission to operate flights to Italy,’ the Association says.
