TEZ TOUR Plan to Consolidate Flights to Turkey and Egypt From Perm

[IMG=19052-4696] At the beginning of February the subject mostly generated in the Urals travel market was a launch of TEZ TOUR direct flights from Perm. Alexander Sinigibsky, General Representative of TEZ TOUR in Russia, explained that tours to Turkey and Egypt offered by TEZ TOUR are successful with Perm tourists – last year approximately 1, 000 people were sent by the company to both countries. ‘Therefore, we consider it reasonable to launch our flights to Egypt and Turkey from Perm’, said Sinigibskyi. Representatives of Sputnik – travel company from Perm which is planned to become a co-consolidator of the charter chain to Turkey) believe that a new charter program will resolve the problem of August 2005, when charters from Perm flied only twice a week. ‘We plan to start a weekly flight by Perm Airlines to Antalia while TEZ TOUR will provide all in-country services’, said Vadim Yakhin, the Head of Sputnik. However, there is an opinion that additional flights may become excessive for the market. Together with a new charter program, there will be three flights to Turkey per week that is too many for the region. Furthermore, a launch of flights to Egypt – another popular destination for Perm tourists - are considered to be problematic due to the previous experience that demonstrates underload of flights even during holiday periods. Vera Korobkina, General Director Deputy of Finist Travel, said: ‘Perm aircraft fleet is enough to provide charter flights at high season but Perm tourists prefer flying to Egypt from either Moscow or Ekaterinburg due to lower tariffs’.
