In particular, I Fly Airlines operates special flights from Novosibirsk to Rostov. In the future, personnel are sent to Ukraine.
This was reported today, November 12, on the website of the Center for National Resistance.
The Ministry of Defense systematically uses civilian airlines, wiping them out. After all, after the introduction of a number of sanctions, Russian airlines suffered significant financial losses. Consequently, the airline owners close to the authorities receive orders from the Ministry of Defense in order to earn at least some money, the Central Tax Service notes.
It is noted that the owner of I Fly Airlines is Alexander Burtin, who is also the co-founder and co-owner of the Russian travel company Tez Tour. The CEO of the airline is Kirill Romanovsky.
Earlier, the SBU announced suspicions:
- to the head of the Federal Air Transport Agency Alexander Neradko, who provided civilian aircraft to transport the Russian military to the front;
- to the General Director of Ural Airlines Sergei Skuratov, who provided access to the company’s aircraft for the Russian Ministry of Defense.
