Ural Airlines is planning to perform two extra Yekaterinburg-Khabarovsk-Yekaterinburg flights before the school year starts, the carrier’s press officer reports.

The airline normally offers just one weekly flight available every Thursday, but at the moment, given the upcoming end of the holiday season, the company’s passengers have been offered an opportunity to fly to Khabarovsk on August 25, 2007 and September 1, 2007 (both days are Saturdays). The flight timetable takes into account the possible flight connections for passengers coming home from the Black Sea (Krasnodar, Sochi, Simferopol, and Anapa).

These flights are also believed to be very popular with the armed forces personnel who usually come back to their place of duty with their families by September 1, the airline’s press release states.

The flight is performed using a TU 154M airplane; the aircraft takes off from Yekaterinburg at 1 AM and arrives in Khabarovsk at 12 PM, and then it leaves Khabarovsk at 1.40 PM and arrives in Yekaterinburg at 3.10 PM.

A fuller timetable is available via the carrier’s website www.uralairlines.com and through the Help and Information Center (tel. +7 (343) 345-36-45, 8-800-2000-262).
