"Then we will see real losses of companies. And it will be possible to understand what systemic measures need to be taken for the entire industry, and not for individual companies, "Savelyev in an interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.
Savelyev proposed to introduce wet leasing (IF) in Russia as one of the measures to support air carriers, i.e. the transfer of the aircraft together with the crew for rent to foreign airlines.
"Our pilots can legally work abroad. But somehow I can't lease a crewed plane to a foreign company. Why? We need to be flexible and be able to respond quickly to changes in the market. We do not have enough pilots - we recruit from abroad. Market decline - we give our planes with a crew to foreigners. We must be able to do this quickly, and not wait for bills to pass a certain number of circles in the State Duma, "Savelyevsaid.
Bankruptcies in the market economy, he said, are a normal phenomenon that enable companies to evolve.
"Now they say: the government will help everyone, everyone will get out. Explain then, what was the point of working effectively? It turns out that it was necessary to get into adventures, inflate the fleet, take loans, open flights in all directions. What's the difference?! After all, the state will still save, cover your mistakes at the expense of the stabilization fund, "he said.
The main unpleasant surprise of 2014 for domestic aviation was the slowdown in passenger growth by the end of the year. As follows from the statistics of the Federal Air Transport Agency, since the beginning of 2014, passenger traffic has shown positive dynamics, slowly but surely increasing. The peak fell in August, this month Russian airlines transported 11 million people, almost 12% more than a year earlier. But since September, growth rates have begun to decline markedly. So, in November, airlines transported 6.4 million people, which is only 2% more than in the same period in 2013.
Analysts attributed this to a reduction in household incomes in dollars and euros, which made it unprofitable to fly, and many travel companies went bankrupt. In December 2014, however, the situation slightly corrected: Russian airlines transported 6.280 million people, which is 6.2% more than in December 2013. In general, in 2014, passenger air transportation in Russia increased by 10.2%, to 93.181 million people.
2013: Leadership of flight personnel union condemned for extortion

2011: Lack of space at Sheremetyevo
In April 2011, it became known that already in 2011 Aeroflot will not have enough space for passengers and aircraft in its new terminal D of Sheremetyevo Airport [10].
Aeroflot began building its own terminal at Sheremetyevo in 2005, its throughput was supposed to be 12 million people, the maximum - 14 million. Terminal D began operation at the end of 2009, but its capacity was 9 million passengers. Aeroflot reached this level in 2010.
Back in 2009, the airline's management insisted that Aeroflot with SkyTeam partners and subsidiaries should be able to accommodate and manage three terminals - D, E and F. Sheremetyevo did not share this idea. The government (the only shareholder of Sheremetyevo and the controlling one - Aeroflot) decided to unite the terminals and give them to the management of an independent company, but there was a hitch in the valuation of assets.
First, the assessment of the terminals - five Sheremetyevo and Terminal D (52.82% - at Aeroflot, 25% - at Vnesheconombank, 22.12% - at VTB) - was carried out by Troika Dialog and Credit Suisse, the owners of Terminal D in the combined Sheremetyevo received 10%. E&Y was hired, it came out with 17%. But Vnesheconombank expects 25%, and Aeroflot - 49%. On April 25, 2011, Sheremetyevo's board of directors agreed with E&Y's assessment.
"In the coming year, Aeroflot will exhaust its terminal and apron capabilities (there is already a shortage of about 25% on the apron) and will have to redistribute its volumes to other terminals, primarily terminals B and C," Sheremetyevo said in an explanatory note to Ernst & Young (E&Y, engaged in terminal assessment; Vedomosti has a copy of the note, its existence was confirmed by a representative of Sheremetyevo). In 2010, Terminal D had 9.046 million passengers; in the area of domestic flights, there was a daily congestion of passengers - 500-600 people "above normal," and in the international sector - queues at rush hour, which indicates complete congestion of the terminal, the note said, in 2010 due to a shortage of parking on the platform of Terminal D from 5 to 10 Aeroflot aircraft were located in parking near Terminal F.
In 2011, Aeroflot intends to increase passenger traffic through Terminal D to 14 million people, the number of flights - to 410 per day (42% more than in 2010). In addition to the 32 parking lots available at Terminal D, 29 additional parking lots will be needed at Terminals E and F.
But other carriers have brought to their Sheremetyevo terminals: since 2010, the Avianova low-cost airline has been based there - in five years it has pledged to provide passenger traffic of 3 million people. The charter carrier "North Wind" is going to increase passenger traffic to 1 million people in 2011, and then grow no slower than the tourist market. It strengthens its position in Sheremetyevo and Transaero: it plans to increase the number of passengers to 1.5 million. The airline rented half of the floor in Terminal F, part of the premises in the Aeroexpress building, the plans are to rent a business terminal and double the number of aircraft at Sheremetyevo.
The flight schedule has stopped, there will be no fundamental changes, the representative of Sheremetyevo said.
Aeroflot CEO Vitaly Savelyev said that Aeroflot is not going to leave Sheremetyevo in the near future, but at a meeting with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin he proposed an option for Aeroflot to move to Domodedovo after 2020.
2010: Return from Switzerland of $50m stolen by Berezovsky
In 1999, the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia opened a criminal case on abuses at Aeroflot. Charges of money laundering were brought against four top managers of the company and Boris Berezovsky as a shareholder. According to investigators, the air carrier's money was withdrawn abroad through Swiss firms close to the entrepreneur (Andava and Forus Holding). In 2006, top managers of the company were sentenced to two years in prison.
The case against Boris Berezovsky was separated into a separate proceeding. In 2007, the Savelovsky Court of Moscow in absentia found the entrepreneur guilty of embezzlement of more than 214 million rubles. and sentenced to six years in prison. After that, the Prosecutor General's Office sent a request for legal assistance regarding the return to Aeroflot of assets frozen in Switzerland.
Regardless of Russia, the Swiss side conducted its own investigation, finding out that Andava in 1996-1997. caused damage to Aeroflot in the amount of 53 million Swiss francs. In 2008, Boris Berezovsky's funds were frozen in Swiss banks. In addition to Boris Berezovsky and former Aeroflot deputy director general for finance Nikolai Glushkov, several more unnamed persons were charged (later it turned out that it was about Ruslan Fomichev and Vasily Peganov). A few months later, the country's Federal Criminal Court found those suspected of embezzlement guilty of misappropriation of assets and ordered the confiscation of frozen assets.
In August 2010, the Swiss prosecutor's office transferred 53 million francs (more than $50 million) to Aeroflot.
