Dobrolet ( Russian Добролёт , transcribed Dobroljot ) was a Russian low-cost airline and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aeroflot . The first flights were completed in June 2014.
history
Dobrolet was founded in 2013 as a low-cost subsidiary of Aeroflot, and its first destination was Simferopol in June 2014 on the Crimea annexed by Russia . At the beginning of August 2014, Dobrolet had to cease operations after less than two months. The European Union imposed a flight ban following the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which was allegedly shot down by pro-Russian separatists. Irish leasing company SMBC Aviation Capital has also terminated the leasing contracts for the two Boeing 737-800s, the airline's only active aircraft, with immediate effect. The background to this was the EU's implementing regulation 826/2014 , which forbade EU citizens and companies from doing business with Dobrolet, as Dobrolet undermines the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine due to its focus on Crimea.
Further use of the name
Aeroflot first announced that at the end of October 2014, a new low-cost subsidiary, Dobrolet Plus (same IATA code), would resume operations. Then the name was changed to Bjudschetny perewostschik (in German: budget provider ) and finally it resumed flight operations under the name Pobeda (in German: Sieg) on December 1, 2014.
Destinations
Starting on June 10, 2014 there was a flight connection Moscow - Simferopol - Moscow.
Four more connections should have been established by August 2014, but this never happened:
fleet
Before ceasing operations, the Dobrolet Airlines fleet consisted of three aircraft:
- 2 Boeing 737-800 (leased from SMBC Aviation Capital)
- 1 Suchoi Superjet 100 (inactive, still registered on Dobrolet despite cessation of operations as of August 2014)
