According to the carrier, the airline's planes not only do not save fuel, but also load it additionally if the crew is facing a flight in difficult weather conditions.
At Pobeda Airlines, fuel planning is carried out strictly in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations and officially published routes. Fuel consumption is regularly monitored. Additional fuel is provided when difficult weather conditions are forecast or during peak airport hours. Therefore, all Pobeda flights are operated with sufficient fuel to divert to an alternate airport or wait in a landing queue.
Earlier, the Baza Telegram channel published a statement on behalf of an anonymous pilot of the airline, who stated that Pobeda allegedly forces pilots to save aviation fuel due to sanctions and wind. Because of this, according to the anonymous source, they fly shorter routes and experience severe stress.
