Ural Airlines Quits Using Tu 154M Planes

Ural Airlines will no longer be using the Tu 154M airplanes in the future. This plane will operate its last flight to Yekaterinburg-based Koltsovo Airport on October 16, 2011, the airline’s press service reports.

Tu 154 aircraft were traditionally the basis of Sverdlovsk Region’s united fleet of vehicles that was later to become Ural Airlines. The first such plane was purchased in 1974. In 1995, the airline bought the first improved Tu 154M.

The company kept using four Tu 154M planes over the last few years; these planes were fitted with the most advanced equipment and allowed to operate in Europe. Now our fleet of vehicles only constitutes eighteen Airbus planes,’ the company reports.
