    Russia Plans to Legalize Overbooking on Flights

    The Ministry of Transport in Russia is preparing to legalize overbooking on airline flights. This practice allows airlines to sell more tickets than there are seats on the plane, counting on some passengers not showing up.

The legalization process is expected to begin in September and may be completed by the end of the year.
