The sale of air tickets at reduced rates for Kaliningrad residents will begin on May 1. Governor of the Kaliningrad region Anton Alikhanov announced this at a press conference on Thursday, April 25.

The amount of funds allocated for these purposes will be, according to him, about 170-180 million rubles. Tickets will be available “exclusively to residents of our region and students who study here,” Anton Alikhanov said.
