Russian low-cost airline Pobeda has announced the launch of its own tour operator for the second time in 2019: PobedaTravel has already opened sales of package tours across the airline's entire route network. This was reported in press service carrier.
Let us recall that about the creation its own tour operator Pobeda announced last year. In turn, in March 2019, the carrier announced the launch of the project, but already in April, the company's legal entity (OOO Pobeda Airlines) was excluded from the register of tour operators by Rostourism. The reason was the failure to provide financial guarantees for a new term. The company itself then stated that the launch of the tour operator was in test mode.
This time, the airline, just like in the spring, plans to attract tourists with low prices: the difference in cost is expected to reach 15%. "The new service operates at the net prices of suppliers and hotels, without any markups from intermediaries," the carrier's press service notes.
"We know what our customers need, and taking their needs into account, we are launching a global modernization. Pobeda is no longer just a low-cost airline, not just the third largest airline in the country, and not just the most dynamically developing low-cost company in Europe. Now there is a full-fledged Travel Brand Pobeda - a reliable, profitable and modern travel partner for any traveler," said Andrey Kalmykov, General Director of Pobeda Airlines.
By the way, the tour operator's website was launched on Monday, July 22. Within the framework of the proposed concept, tourists have access to package tours that include air travel and hotel accommodation.
