| | The St. Petersburg Times - Business - Minister: Pulkovo’s Split the First of Many in Aviation Industry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | The split of St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Aviation Enterprise into two independent companies, an airport and an airline, will be part of the government’s nationwide strategy to compartmentalize the industry, Transport Minister Igor Levitin said Wednesday. |
 | | As Pulkovo completes its transformation this week, the government will press to separate airport management companies from air carriers in an effort to make the aviation more economically effective, Levitin said at a press briefing during a visit to St. Petersburg. |
 | | The inefficiency of the aviation monopolies is not due as much to competition as to the different nature of their business, said Alexander Yurchik, the acting director of the Federal Agency for Air Transport. |
