November 18, 2013. For the first time in their history, Ural Airlines transferred its 4,000,000th passenger of the year. The new record was set in November; a year ago, the company offered its services to its 3,000,000th passenger that month.

This year, the lucky passenger was Yegor Konyukhovsky, who checked in for flight U6 261 from Moscow to Yekaterinburg.

The special passenger was welcomed aboard with congratulations and compliemts from the airline. Upon arriving in Yekaterinburg, a premium class automobile was waiting to take Konyukhovsky to Koltsovo Airport’s cozy VIP terminal.

Ural Airlines’ Deputy Director-General and Quality Director Alexei Fomin presented the lucky winner with a business class ticket to Sochi, the capital of the Winter Olympics 2014. The ticket is valid on any day for the next 365 days.

Celebrating the check-ins of special passengers has already become the company’s tradition: there are more millionth passengers every year.
