Flights under the new fares will be available starting February of next year. Due to the reduced ticket prices, The airline hopes for an increase in tourist flow.
During its research, the carrier discovered that this year's fare standards were not meeting travelers' needs. As a result, the airline introduced four new fares:
• The baggage-free Light fare has been modified into Optimum: it is now possible to check bags in as baggage, and the allowance has increased from 10 to 25 kg;
• The Standard fare with baggage has been transformed into Premium: hand luggage and baggage have increased from 30 to 35 kg;
• Minimum fare with hand luggage up to 5 kg and reduced the minimum ticket price from 1990 rubles (Light) to 900 rubles.
• For those who want to take more luggage, Utair has introduced a combination: the Minimum fare + additional carry-on baggage up to 10 kg for 999 rubles with bonus priority boarding. Utair has increased the dimensions of the additional carry-on baggage to the largest on the market – 55x40x25 cm.
"Utair is the first and only hybrid low-cost carrier in Russia. Thanks to the travel builder principle, passengers can save on the base fare at the low-cost carrier's price and purchase additional services that the low-cost carrier doesn't offer. In 2018, Utair increased the penetration of additional services from 10 to 20% across all segments sold. By the end of 2019, 30% passengers will have purchased additional services," reports Pavel Permyakov, President of Utair – Passenger Airlines.
