The annual general meeting of shareholders of "Siberia" Airlines" JSC op. took place yesterday. The meeting was attended by the shareholders owning 89.88% of the total number of the company’s voting shares.

A new service has been introduced specially for the S7 Airlines passengers in Novosibirsk (airport "Tolmachevo") and Moscow (airport "Domodedovo"). In case if the luggage is delayed in Moscow or Novosibirsk, it will be delivered free of charge at the passenger’s home address or at any other indicated address within the bounds of these cities. This will deliver the S7 Airlines clients from the necessity to return to the airport to collect the delayed luggage. The service is valid for all the S7 domestic flights in Novosibirsk and all the domestic and international flights in Moscow. The S7 Airlines partners in organization of this service are: "Tolmachevo-Terminal-Service" (Novosibirsk) and "Elite Business Auto" (Moscow).
