Four flights a week?
For any airline to be competitive with the other air operators on a specific city-pair, it has to operate at least twice daily (i.e. 14 flights a week).
The limited options offered by four flights a week makes Vladivostok Air unfavorable compared with the major players of Moscow-St Petersburg corridor.
However, the position of Vladivostok Air is different as its flights bound for St Petersburg originate from Vladivostok. In other words, the airline is mainly serving St Petersburg with one stop en route in Moscow. We can safely say that the airline is not competing with the other operators in Moscow-St Petersburg market. Thus, any traffic picked up from Moscow to St Petersburg will be a plus on the airline operating figures.
