By the way, representatives “Domodedovo” have confirmed that with a Victory parade and linked to today’s delay.

The rest have to negotiate with the carriers to provide them aboard. May holidays – tourism boom? the carriers take all the orders, anticipating enormous profits. Often, however, it turns out that the airline cannot provide the desired number of sides, as part of their liners are worn and they are simply not allowed to fly, and back sides the airlines just yet.
Margarita Zavalinka: according to, today’s emergency landing of Boeing – 757, is somehow connected with the tourist boom?
