The Russian Prosecutor General's Office has launched an inspection of Aeroflot after the scandal with comedian Ilya Sobolev. He, together with his wife and infant child were going to fly and initially bought tickets in economy class.

But then the comedian decided that his wife and baby will be uncomfortable to fly eight hours in economy and upgraded the tickets to business class, and left himself in economy. But they refused to let the baby into business class.

As it turned out that at the registration desk the child Sobolev was registered on the comedian, and not on his wife, which means that only Ilya can sit next to his son. Or, as suggested in the company, the comedian's wife can sit on any seat in the economy class with the child.

In the end, as Sobolev notes, there was a mistake through the fault of the airline, but for some reason were going to drop off the comedian with his family. Also employees of Aeroflot threatened the Sobolev couple with the police.

Sobolev also called Aeroflot a company of unscrupulous non-professionals and promised to ridicule the air carrier in his stand-ups.

The General Prosecutor's Office has already taken interest in the incident and started a check. Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov personally instructed to check the actions of the company and assess their legality.

Recall, in December, tourists from Russia will be able to get a direct flight to Mauritius. As specified in "Aeroflot", the first flight is scheduled for December 23, and tickets went on sale on September 12.
