June 9, 2014. Ural Airlines operated new flights from Chelyabinsk to Anapa and Simferopol on June 6, 2014. The Chelyabinsk-Anapa flight took off at 8:40 AM, while the Chelyabinsk-Simferopol one was scheduled for 4:45 PM (departure times quoted are in local time), the air carrier's press service says.

The airline's planes will be taking the residents of the South Urals to the coast of the Black Sea in Krasnodar Territory and in the Crimea every Friday through the end of September.

Prices of a one-way ticket from Chelyabink to Anapa start from 7,250 RUR (excluding the fees and charges). The Chelyabinsk-Simferopol flight is actually on the list of subsidized flights to the Crimea, so reduced price tickets were offered for sale as early as May 22, 2014.

'Fresh air, the beach, the bright sunshine and the gentle Black Sea – residents of the South Urals can enjoy all this beauty as soon as today. The holiday season has already begun for them,' the company says.
