The first new-format award ceremony of the international Golden Chariot Prize took place in Dubai, UAE, in the course of the 59-th World Congress and the exhibition on Mobility & Urban Transport.

Ural Airlines won in the Russia’s Air Transport Leader category and was given a gilded figurine of a troika as well as the laureate’s certificates.

‘The prize won international recognition in 2011, so receiving such a prestigious award is a mark of the air carrier’s international status and significance,’ Ural Airlines emphasizes.

The awarding board distributed prizes on the basis of a set of criteria: passenger turnover, the stability and safety of the carrier’s performance, the company’s development dynamics, its meeting the existing international standards, and international expansion.
