Last week the State Duma received a bill providing for the introduction of non-return air tickets - just before the deputies leave for the summer holidays. @

For a long time, tariffs with non-refundable values, practiced all over the world, will soon gain official status in Russia. Vitaly Saveliev, the General Director of Aeroflot, initiated the creation of non-refundable tariffs, according to which the new rules will not only help domestic airlines cut costs, but they will also become an essential prerequisite for the creation of competitive low-costers in the country

As stated in the explanatory note, the bill is aimed at making changes in the procedure and conditions for the return of funds paid for the air ticket in order to create conditions for reducing the cost of air travel for the passenger . Basic rights It is stipulated that in case the passenger refuses the carriage not later than 72 hours before the end of the check-in time, the amount paid for the air ticket is returned to him, with the exception of fees for booking and processing of accompanying documents . The innovation of the bill will be an exception to the main ticket rule purchased at a non-refundable rate . In addition, the draft law establishes that only 30% of all seats can be sold at a non-refundable tariff .

Consideration of the future of the legislative act will begin with the release of deputies to work in September
