Air Bishkek increases its offering to Russia to seven routes

Air Bishkek, the flag carrier of Kyrgyzstan, expanded its offering in the market from Bishkek (FRU) to Russia last week. On 16 and 18 May respectively, the carrier inaugurated low-frequency services to Kaliningrad (KGD) and Ekaterinburg (SVX). While flights to both destinations are offered with weekly frequencies, and operated using one of the airline’s two 180-seat A320s, Air Bishkek faces competition only on the latter, with Ural Airlines (three weekly flights), Avia Traffic Company (two) and Kyrgyzstan Aircompany (two) already present in the market.
