Ural Airlines reports the company is going to fly its millionth passenger in 2008 on August 29, 2008. This will probably be someone on the company’s 8.20 AM Yekaterinburg-Moscow flight or 9.30 AM Yekaterinburg-Sochi flight. The lucky passenger will get a nice present as usual, the airline’s press office reports.

Remarkably, the carrier is to welcome its millionth passenger of the year two months earlier compared to the year 2007.

‘This has to do with the greater number of aircraft we operate now. Ural Airlines is now using some Russian aircraft as well as five modern and comfortable A 320 airplanes that make it possible to offer our customers more destinations and more frequent flights,’ the press officer says.
