On the topic of leasing, did you see that Aeroflot will begin wet-leasing Airbus a330 aircraft from iFly for some long-haul domestic routes to the Far East? It's a first in Russian aviation, as far as I can tell, and it's due to recent regulatory changes that make it much easier to wet lease. It seems that it's a money-saving move by Aeroflot, as the economy tickets between Moscow and many far eastern cities are subsidized and sold at a flat fare, so it's not much of a money-making venture for them. However, the demand for these routes is very high (To which I can attest, as Moscow-Vladivostok is a frequent route for me. Better buy at least a month in advance, or you could be out of luck. At least two months out if it's in summer or arounf New Year.) Hpefully adding the iFly flights will make high-demand travel dates much easier.
What is iFly? Where did they get an A380 from? Haven't heard about this before, and unable to find any (English language) source for this...
Well, if you read closely, I wrote a330, not a380. Here's an English source: https://www.airdatanews.com/aeroflot-signs-wet-lease-for-three-airbus-a330s-with-russian-company/
