MOSCOW, April 26 (RAPSI, Nikita Shiryayev) – Moscow’s Sherbinsky District Court on Friday dismissed a lawsuit filed by prosecutors against paid flight check-in set by Russia’s Pobeda air carrier for departure from foreign airports, RAPSI reports from the courtroom.
According to the lawsuit, starting the fall of 2018, the lowcoster’s passengers departing from foreign airports may free check-in for a flight only online. The others must pay 25 euros for check-in. An exception is the flights from Belarus and Kazakhstan.
A lawyer for Pobeda said in court that the set fee is a reasonable measure because the paid funds are being forwarded for paying the airports’ ground services.
Nearly 95% of Pobeda passengers usually use free online check-in, the airline’s website reads.
