ALASKA-KAMCHATKA SERVICE 2012
Service Update
AEROFLOT-VLADIVOSTOK AIR MERGER
The acquisition of Vladivostok Air by Aeroflot Russian Airlines last year initiated the process of merging the companies' operations and service. The transition will complete on March 27th when Aeroflot takes over the sales and marketing of most of Vladivostok Air's established flights. All flights will continue to be operated with Vladivostok Air crew and aircraft. However, in reservations computers, you'll see Aeroflot flight numbers on such traditional Vladivostok Air routings as Vladivostok to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Khabarovsk, and from Tokyo to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Vladivostok. Also as a result of the merger, Vladivostok Air's popular route Tokyo (Narita) - Kamchatka, will not operate in 2012. Vladivostok Air tickets will not be valid for travel on Aeroflot after the transition date.
TICKET SALES
The Aeroflot-Vladivostok Air merger has necessitated some operational changes in this summer's Alaska-Kamchatka service. It is planned that the flights will be operated by Yakutia Air under a code-sharing agreement with Vladivostok Air, and are subject to Yakutia Air receiving US Department of Transportation authorization to serve the route. Schedules, pricing, and booking information will be made available upon receipt by Yakutia Air of authority to serve the route.
