Ural Airlines have already serviced 1.7 times more transit passengers in the nine months of 2006 compared to January-September 2005. The company plans on performing flights to 19 destinations (including Dushanbe, Moscow, Yerevan, Nadym, Nizhnevartovsk, Novosibirsk, Noviy Urengoi, Salekhard, Samara, Saint Petersburg, Mineralniye Vodi, Sochi, Tashkent, Hudzhant, Chita, Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Khabarovsk, and Yakutsk) in the winter of 2006/2007. These flights provide for over 70 two-sided interfacings that offer the best conditions for a passenger to travel to the place they need with a connection in Yekaterinburg.

In order to make the trips of those using Koltsovo airport of Yekaterinburg even more convenient, Ural Airlines are now increasing the number of interline and code sharing agreements with the other carriers; the company has signed 48 such agreements so far. The wait between two connecting flights comes to something between one and a half and six hours.

Due to the company’s extensively developed travel network, the clients of Ural Airlines can get to virtually any corner of the world; besides, if the passenger chooses to use the same carrier throughout the whole trip, he or she may benefit from the fly-through tariff, which saves you money. For instance, a transit flight performed by Ural Airlines from Irkutsk to Saint Petersburg, with a landing in Koltsovo airport of Yekaterinburg, is going to cost 7,500 RUR, whereas the direct flight performed by Pulkovo Airlines will come to 9,800 RUR for a single ticket. According to the data as of October 1, 2006, the carrier is capable of offering a client up to 1,500 individual routes using Koltsovo Airport, reports the company’s spokesperson.
