“January results reflect seasonal demand for a number of directions of the S7 Airlines route network. Traditionally, in January, the popularity of cities near ski slopes, both in Russia and in Europe, increases. For active winter holidays during the New Year holidays, S7 Airlines passengers chose Salzburg, Innsbruck, Turin, Verona, Milan - our new destination, Sochi and Mineralnye Vody,”- says Igor Veretennikov, Commercial Director of S7 Group.
