Starting August 12, 2009, Ural Airlines is going to operate two rather than just one flight a week from Yekaterinburg to Beijing.

‘Beijing is going to become Ural Airlines’ key airport for destinations like Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Bali, the Maldives, Malaysia, Japan, and Australia. Our partners, like the giant Europort, are offering some rather exciting summer tours around China, including unique individual tours,’ the company reports.

Under the new timetable, the flights will be operated on an Airbus A320 aircraft on Wednesdays and Sundays; the plane takes off in Koltsovo Airport of Yekaterinburg at 8:20 PM, with the flight lasting for five hours and forty minutes. The return flight from Beijing leaves for Yekaterinburg at 5:15 PM and lasts six hours and ten minutes.

The carrier offers all passengers its special welcome tariffs for two-way flights: the price comes to 21,362 RUR (all the fees and charges included). Tickets can be booked and bought via the airline’s website www.uralairlines.com as well as in all of its booking offices.
