“ These are aircraft [restored Tu-214 and Tu-204] , which were previously operated by Red Wings, but in 2018 the airline abandoned this fleet. The time has come when these aircraft come back to the airline. It will be a really big event for us in 2023 and we are really looking forward to it ,” he added.
