Dobrolet suspends operations due to EU sanctions

Aeroflot has announced that its LCC subsidiary Dobrolet will temporarily suspend operations. The sanctions imposed by the US and EU in the aftermath of MH17 have led to leasing, MRO and insurance agreements being annulled, as well as the provision of flight operations data.  Dobrolet passengers have been notified that Orenburg Air will honour their flight tickets. Passengers for flights to destinations including Samara, Perm, Ufa, Ekaterinburg, Surgut and Kazan are eligible for full refunds.
