S7 Airlines

An Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 passenger jet to Nairobi crashed early on March 10 with 149 passengers and eight crew members aboard, the airline said, and there were no survivors, according to the state broadcaster.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin was forced to cancel a controversial visit to Moldova on Friday, after Romania reportedly denied his S7 plane access to its airspace, forcing it to land in Minsk, Belarus.  

The Russian official has been banned from traveling to the European Union since March 2014, when he backed the Russian annexation of Crimea.

The aircraft industry descends on Paris for the world's biggest airshow, a prime battleground for bitter rivals Boeing and Airbus, but also a chance for new kids on the block to snap at the heels of the two giants.

Russian company S7 Airlines is considering a possible entry into the shareholding structure of an unnamed Bulgarian air carrier to conduct flights from Moscow to Europe via Ukraine, TASS reported on Thursday.

There are several Bulgarian airlines operating in the market which could be sold, the Russian news agency quoted S7 Airlines co-owner Natalia Fileva as saying to reporters.
