Ural Airlines is going to re-launch its Israel-bound flights on March 25, 2009.

‘We’ve had to cancel this destination for two months, but now that the passengers’ safety can no longer be questioned, the flight is on our schedule again. This is one of our oldest international flights, actually: we keep operating flights to Israel for over a decade now,’ says the airline’s Commercial Director Kirill Skuratov.

The departure and arrival times have remained the same: the flight is operated every Wednesday using an A 320 airplane. The plane leaves Yekaterinburg at 11.30 AM and arrives in Tel Aviv at 1.40 PM. Then the plane takes off in Tel Aviv at 2.40 PM and lands in Yekaterinburg at 10.35 PM. This is a five-hour flight. Tickets can be booked and bought via the company’s website www.uralairlines.com; one can also use the passenger support phone number 8 800 2000 262, the carrier’s press officer reports.
