The Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation offers airlines to engage in overbooking.

The bill has already been prepared in its essence, however, in all likelihood, a part of Russian air carriers will not rush to provide a new service to their passengers because of possible risks. Information resource Avia.pro notes that overbooking is a service that provides an opportunity to sell more tickets for a flight than the capacity of airplanes. In the event that there are not enough seats for all passengers, the air carrier will have to provide either another aircraft or return the money to the passenger with compensation.

Some specialists note that overbooking can help Russian air carriers to increase their efficiency, however, there are also very large risks.
