All the flights are operated twice a week.
According to local travel market experts do not exclude the possibility of excess of flights in the middle of the season owing lower demand for Turkey. Thus, Genreral Director Deputy of Tour-Navigator, Elena Grinchenko, stated as follows: ‘I believe three aircraft for our region is too much. However, until June 23rd all our flights were booked. Meanwhile, competition evaluation in the region shows that Neva Travel Company has the lowest flight load.
Furthermore, local travel market professionals point out dumping prices offered by some tour operators to beat the competition.
Meanwhile, Neva Travel Company, denies low flight load and possibility of the excess of flights. ‘Having studied the market volume and having consulted with agencies, we took a decision that one more flight from Murmansk will not become excessive’, commented Larisa Yakubovich, the Head Of Promotion Department of Neva Travel Company.
