On June 28, 2006, the premises of Ural Airlines JSC were visited by Tamir Ori, the executive of Air Safety Division of Israel’s Department of Transport. The Department only allows the carriers to fly to Israel after the airline proves its compliance with the safety regulations.

According to the company’s spokesperson, the executives of Israel’s Department of Transport take such trips on regular basis.
