Ural Airlines is already selling the tickets for the company’s summer flights, as such was the wish of its clients. One can now get a discount on a ticket to Sochi, Krasnodar, Anapa, Mineralniye Vody, or Simferopol (all of these are situated at the Black Sea) scheduled for the months of June, July, and August; the offer is valid from February 1 to March 31, 2007. The price of the single ticket has been deliberately made comparable to that of a train transfer and amounts to 3,999 RUR (including the fuel fee).

‘As recently as just a few years ago, sales used to be seen by Russian people as a way of getting rid of goods that don’t sell well. Now, this is above all a way of enhancing customer loyalty,’ says Commercial Director of Ural Airlines Kirill Skuratov.

This information has been reported by the carrier’s press officer.
