Aeroflot (SU, Moscow Sheremetyevo) is still in the planning stages of setting up its new Low Cost Carrier, which, if all details are ironed out, could take to the skies in 2014 using a fleet of either B737NGs or A320s, sourced from Aeroflot. According to Russia's Kommersant, "Loukostera" will be a separate entity to Aeroflot and will offer tickets that are "20-40% cheaper than traditional airlines, and be based at either Moscow Sheremetyevo or Moscow Vnukovo." Interestingly enough, initial focus will be on developing "the most profitable routes across Europe" with local and regional destinations to be added later on. In preparation for its début, various changes to Russia's Air Code and aviation legislation covering non-refundable ticketing and inflight catering have already been approved by the Russian Minister of Transport, Maxim Sokolov.
