Broad business geography, growth in assets and the high level of strategic and financial planning had a positive impact on the Company rating.

Moreover, the Agency's analysts noted that 'TRANSAERO' did not have any past due payables and receivables as of March 31, 2013, had high business indicators, insurance protection reliability and information transparency. Strong market positions were also positive for 'TRANSAERO' Air Company rating.

The high debt level, the short term of the Company's debt, and low capital adequacy were regarded among the rating-restraining factors. In addition, low business diversification by transportation types, low liquidity, significant receivables in assets and profitability drop in 2012 vs 2011 restrained the rating.
