The court ruled that the airline "Pobeda" must, within one month from the date the decision comes into legal force, establish a norm for free carriage of hand luggage in the form of one piece with dimensions of at least 36x30x27 cm and weighing at least 5 kg. It is also necessary to establish a norm for goods from duty-free shops packed in a sealed package, with dimensions of at least 24x32x5 cm.

The prosecutor's office insisted that the actions of the air carrier are aimed at violating the law and infringe on the rights of citizens.
