Network and connecting bank

Sukhum, Krasnodar, Nalchik and Mineralnye Vody each hold a standing overnight aircraft. That does not make any of them a base: they carry no spares, no maintenance capability and no based crew. The aircraft exists so the first movement of the day runs inbound to Sochi, and at Sukhum so the Airline holds one aircraft outside the air navigation region containing every other point in the home network.

Russia trunk distances are flown distances on the eastern corridor rather than great circle distances. The Sochi to Moscow great circle is 736 nautical miles and the corridor adds 64 per cent to it.

The midday wave carries no additional block hours. It is built from feeder rotations that already fly, timed to cluster ahead of the afternoon Amman departure rather than spread across the day at random.

Numbers are allocated in blocks of one hundred by the geography the flight serves. Odd numbers depart Sochi, even numbers return to it, and numbers run in time order within a range. A rotation keeps one series from first departure to final arrival.
