Ural Airlines is to start operating its new Yekaterinburg-Khabarovsk-Yekaterinburg flight on May 15, 2008. Prior to the introduction of this flight, passengers had to use connecting flights with stops in Moscow or Irkutsk, which took much longer. Now it will only take a passenger six hours to get from Yekaterinburg to Khabarovsk. The airline’s experts have scheduled really convenient departure and arrival time so as to make sure a passenger has a whole day in front of them upon landing in Khabarovsk, the company’s press officer reports. Moreover, the flight timetable is coordinated with the possible connecting flights from the southern parts of Russia and Ukraine (that is, cities like Anapa and Simferopol).

A TU 154 M plane leaves Yekaterinburg at 9.30 PM every Thursday and arrives in Khabarovsk at 8.30 AM on Friday. Then the aircraft takes off in Khabarovsk at 10.05 AM on Friday and lands in Yekaterinburg at 11.45 AM (local time).
