    Russia Plans to Legalize Overbooking on Flights

This practice allows airlines to sell more tickets than there are seats on the plane, counting on some passengers not showing up. The ministry aims to introduce clear rules and compensation options for passengers who may not have a seat due to overbooking. The legalization process is expected to begin in September and may be completed by the end of the year.
