Pleasant People At Russian LCC
Here's a factoid for you: while the number of air travelers around the world has spent the last 15 years rising, in Russia it's dropped from 130 million passengers per year during the times of the Soviet Union to just 20 million now. Why? It got expensive, true, when the USSR collapsed, but a key reason is people thought it was just too plain dangerous. The safety record of Russian domestic flights was simply way too unfriendly.
So why, we ask, would anyone want to fly a Russian budget airline? Although there's no evidence to support this, we all secretly assume that budget airlines cut corners and that if you pay about $20 for a flight you can't always expect to get to your destination without a hiccup. Despite this, newcomer SkyExpress has proudly launched flights from Vnukovo airport in Moscow to three destinations around Russia, with an opening special of 500 rubles a flight ($19).
A quick note: if you'd rather work for SkyExpress than just fly with them, there's an opening:
We are looking for: Girls and young men from 18 years with a pleasant appearance, growth 165 - 175 cm.
If you think your appearance is pleasant enough, get in contact with SkyExpress.
