Alongside with adopted aviation standards, we have introduced additional control measures in order to increase the security level.

We buy the newest hardware for better control of the quality of our aircraft equipment.

Social responsibility
When Russia was celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, Russian veterans of the War, people who lived in Leningrad during the blockade and the underaged prisoners of fascist concentration camps have been offered by Gazpromavia free of charge tickets to any domestic destination, this being a joint decision of Gazpromavia personnel.
