Sky Express: Everybody Flies! Affordable Fares

We have the pleasure of announcing the commencement of regular passenger services out of Vnukovo International by Sky Express, Russia’s first low-cost carrier. The airline operates a rapidly expanding route network, linking Moscow with several major cities in the European part of Russia, that are on average 600 to 3000 kilometers distant from the Metropolis. We invite our passengers to travel to any of the following destinations that we already serve: St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Kazan’, Kaliningad, Krasnodar, Murmansk, Perm’, Rostov-on-Don, Sochi, Tyumen’, Samara, Chelyabinsk.

 For easy  online booking and acquisition of tickets to popular destinations in Spain, Greece, and Turkey, also served by Sky Express, you need only log on to: www.skyexpress.ru  and complete the relevant quick and intuitive booking procedure offered there.

Sky Express is an airline unique in every way. It’s an entirely ticketless operation, relying solely on direct bookings & sales. The passengers are offered a wide range of in-flight services and catering, that are not included in the airfare per se. Thanks largely to this unique business model, Sky Express finds itself in a position to offer air travel at rates approaching current rail fares to the same destinations.

  Are the Sky Express fares easy to understand?

At Sky Express we strive to keep our tariff system as clear and easy-to-understand as possible. The airfares differ by destination, more specifically they depend on the flight time and distance to the destination of your choice. Another couple of factors bearing directly on the fares is how early on you book a seat (the earlier you book, the lower the airfare) and the remaining number of available seats on the flight of your choice. That much said, however, you will find no stifling rules such as the week-end, round trip ones or similar when booking your trip with Sky Express.

  What sets Sky Express apart from other airlines?

    Affordable fares, a unique web-based system of ticket sales and a 24/7 call center are all there to ensure you save both
         your time and your money.

    Offbeat in-flight service and entertainment will keep you amused throughout your flight with us.

    You can order any entry or a combination of those from our In-flight menu to suit both your palate and your wallet

   The time of departure of your flight may not always be the most convenient one, but the high number of daily frequencies to the same destination more than compensates for that inconvenience.

  So are there any bona fide savings for me then?

    Book early, pay less. You get to choose the lowest fare available.

    Pay by credit card (/a prepaid card) or via any of our Partner’s outlets, less any agent’s fees and/or commissions.

    Traveling light – instead of the traditional 5 kilos in carry-on baggage why not roll aboard a whole 10 if the bags’ size allows them to be stowed under the seat in front of you.

  What aircraft type(s) does Sky Express operate?

The Sky Express single-type fleet comprises various models of the Boeing 737 twinjet. By end-2007 the fleet will be 18-strong, built around the same type in 148 and 133 all-economy seating configurations, depending on the model. Sky Express offers budget fares for each seat, there being no division and cabin partitioning into different classes of service. The brand new leather-upholstered seats and our cheerful flight attendants will make your flight eminently comfortable and enjoyable.

All the company aircraft undergo routine maintenance checks at major overseas MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) bases. Our flight deck crews are recruited from among the Russian commercial pilots with years of professional experience, impressive flying hour logs to their credit and all of them duly certified by flight crew training centers in Europe and the USA.

We always look forward to welcoming you as our passengers on board the Sky Express flights!
