The list includesAeroflot, Alrosa Airline, Saratov Airlines, Ural Airlines, Ikar Airline, Red Wings, Nordavia Airline, Izhavia Airline, Aeroservice Airline, Yamal Airline and Sibir Airline, which operates under the S7 Airlines brand, ATWonline reported.

The carriers, which must sign agreements with Rosaviatsia before May 29, have selected 40 routes connecting Russian regions with Simferopol out of 58 possible routes. The government plans to spend RUB611.82 million ($9.4 million) on the Crimea subsidy program in 2016. It is estimated the airlines will be able to sell up to 187,000 tickets at the subsidized rates. The government subsidizes airline tickets for citizens under 23 years old and pensioners.

The Russian government runs several subsidy programs. In April, airlines requested the Ministry of Transport to reconsider subsidized route rates in the Far East,Kaliningrad and Crimea programs.
