On behalf of Gazprom of Russia Board of Directors and on my behalf I congratulate heartily the staff of GAZPROMAVIA on a significant day – 10th anniversary of the company.

What you do is very important for Gazprom of Russia which is the biggest gaz company in the world. You ferry the working shifts to gaz production sites, carry passengers and different cargos by local and international airlines. The success of our production activity depends in many respects on the coherence and accuracy of your work.

While solving these crucial problems, GAZPROMAVIA staff prove to us constantly that Gazprom corporate airlines’ professional level is always high, as well as the professionalism of the aircraft crews.

I am convinced that these characteristics are and will always be the special kind of GAZPROMAVIA.

I wish the staff many new professional achievements and confident flying.

I also wish you health, good luck and prosperity!

I greet all of you, who travel with GAZPROMAVIA Aviation Company Ltd. for more than 17 years now. My greetings also to everybody who is going to become our passenger and experience the high service level aboard our aircraft.

The year of 2005 is very significant for the history of GAZPROMAVIA because of its 10th anniversary. It’s a milestone for us, and we can try to sum up and define our prospects for development. We are proud to have contributed to the development of passenger traffic as well as gaz industry as a whole in Russia.

GAZPROMAVIA has become Russia’s largest corporate airline and is one of the top ten airlines in Russia while not only leading in the amount of flights but also in their security level and level of the service onboard. Airlines’ operations geography becomes wider every year, as well as the range of services we provide in the domain of air transportation.

Our company won national aviation “Krylja Rossii” (“The wings of Russia”) prize twice, as well as many other prizes and awards. GAZPROMAVIA has a very good standing not only in Russia, but also abroad.

The policy of our company is to give maximum attention to flight security. The confidence of our passengers and our further success are guaranteed by the highest professionalism of all of the services, working for us and on our behalf.

We are looking forward to have effective cooperation with you. We wish you a pleasant flight on the aircraft of GAZPROMAVIA!
