Turkish airlines will perform Yekaterinburg-Istanbul flights starting March 26, 2006. According to the spokesperson for Koltsovo airport of Yekaterinburg, Turk Hava Yollaru will perform two flights a week (Mondays and Thursdays) using A-320 aircrafts; the agreement is now being finalized.

‘The other companies who said they wanted to fly to Yekaterinburg haven’t yet applied for the slots; thus, we’re still waiting to hear from Finnish Airlines and Malev; we’ve also been negotiating with the Chinese Public Airlines that is considering flights to Yekaterinburg,’ the company’s spokesperson Yulia Fedotova reports.
