On 10th December, 2018, the Board of Directors of Rossiya Airlines JSC elected Sergey Aleksandrovsky as the CEO for a term of three years.
Sergey Aleksandrovsky has been working at the company since 2016. He was an acting CEO from September 2018. He worked as the Deputy CEO for Sales and Property Issues until September. He was directly involved in the formation and implementation of the business model of Rossiya Airlines.
The model of the airline development includes operation in the middle-price segment, route network expenditure from Pulkovo Airport, operation of flights from Moscow to socially demanded destinations, including cities of the Far East. Besides, the airline continues to be one of the civil aviation leaders in terms of flights to the most popular resorts among Russian citizens.
«With the new team arrival in 2016, the role of the company in terms of the state task accomplishment – development of transport accessibility of remote and strategically important regions of the country – has increased, – said the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rossiya Airlines JSC Vadim Zingman. – Since 2018, the programme of «flat» tariffs established in the Far East, Simferopol and Kaliningrad by Aeroflot, includes flights of Rossiya Airlines. Due to the usage of wide-body aircrafts with higher level of capacity, the carrier continues to increase the quantity of tickets sold at «flat» tariffs. Aeroflot, as previously, will continue to develop the hub in Saint-Petersburg using resources of Rossiya. I consider that youth, modernity and professionalism are the main advantages of the management team of Rossiya Airlines. Nowadays, Rossiya, following modern trends, works on the increase of the quality of services, what makes the company more attractive for passengers. I wish Sergey Vladimirovich to not only save the best, what has let Rossiya Airlines become one of the domestic civil aviation leaders, but also to develop the success reached effectively performing the long-term strategy.»
Since March 2016, Rossiya Airlines started its operations in the new format uniting the best practices of aviation collectives from Saint-Petersburg, Moscow, Orenburg and Rostov-on-Don. The renewed Rossiya reached significant increase of its production indicators on its first year of operations.
