No unnecessary shackles: reducing infrastructure requirements could make flights cheaper

Exactly what changes are needed to make travel more affordable

In January, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to ensure that airlines provide discounts of 50% on air tickets for children under 12 years old. It was specified that it concerns both domestic and international flights. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin was appointed responsible for the execution of this order.

Before that, the order of the Ministry of Transport on a 50% discount on children's air tickets of Russian carriers came into force. In this case, children under two years of age flying without a separate seat will be able to provide free travel on domestic flights and a discount of at least 90% - on international flights. In addition, airlines must allow children under 12 years of age to sit next to their parents in the airplane free of charge.
