Kaliningrad - based airline, KD avia continues operations as normal.
Over the past two days the airline has been able to formalize new arrangements which have stabilized the company.
A coordinated approach has been taken by the Ministry of Transportation of the Russian Federation, Rosaviation and a number of financial institutions in order to facilitate the introduction of state aid for the airline.
This has led to the immediate lifting of any temporary restrictions placed by leasing companies on the operation of KD avia’s fleet of aircraft.
KD avia is now able to continue its daily flying program without any further disruption, whilst measures are taken to fully complete the financial arrangements.
In 2009 KD avia plans to carry 1.3 million passengers and the airline has responded to the change in the market conditions by reducing operational costs and increasing aircraft efficiency.
In 2008 KD avia carried 1.361.570 passengers which constitutes 106% growth when compared with 2007 and became the 9th airline in Russia in terms of the number of passengers carried. The opportunity to receive state aid was subject to the airline complying in-full with detailed criteria as defined by the appropriate Russian government authorities.
In January 2009 KD avia achieved 27% growth in the number of passengers carried when compared to the same period of the last year, and was placed 6th place in the table of Russian airlines when measured by this criteria.
KD avia has operated from it’s hub in Kaliningrad since 15th June 2007 and has become the primary air bridge for the region. The airline forms the major connection between the geographically separated Russian Kaliningrad region and Mainland Russia, as well as with a significant number of both Russian regional centers and European cities.
