Aviasales Denies Reports of Preparing for Sale

Aviasales has publicly denied media reports that it is preparing to sell the business or holding talks about a sale, after multiple Russian outlets circulated claims that the travel search service was being marketed. The reports included an asserted valuation of 23 billion rubles. The episode matters because it can affect counterparties’ expectations (advertisers, travel partners, and potential investors) and signals potential information asymmetry around ownership or strategic plans.
