Mongolia has been dropped from the schedule, which will no doubt disappoint travel enthusiasts. Some have already discovered the country, while others had hoped to visit.
Flight Frequency to Increase on Some Routes
Flights to China will now operate up to 10 times a week, with Rossiya Airlines flying to Beijing, Sanya, and Harbin, and IRAERO offering a route to Manzhouli. Thailand will also see expanded service, with Aeroflot operating six weekly flights to Phuket and Bangkok.
Four Long-Haul Destinations Remain
The schedule includes just four long-haul countries: China, Thailand, Turkey (with Nordwind flying to Antalya four times a week), and Vietnam.
Vietnam's Nha Trang will be served by VietJet's low-cost flights three times a week, along with Nordwind charters (five times a month) and Ikar charters (three times a month). Ikar will also operate up to three monthly charter flights to Thailand.
Flights to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan
Various Russian and foreign carriers will operate routes to these destinations, with frequencies ranging from once to eight times a week.
Domestic Flights Continue Across Russia
Direct flights will connect Krasnoyarsk with the Far East, Siberia, and European Russia. St. Petersburg will see up to seven weekly flights, Kazan up to five, and Yekaterinburg up to six.
Southern Destinations Remain Popular
Rossiya Airlines will offer daily flights to Sochi, while NordStar will operate up to six times a week and Nordwind twice a week. After a long hiatus, flights to Gelendzhik will resume, running twice weekly. Aeroflot will also fly to Krasnodar four times a week, Rossiya to Mineralnye Vody twice a week, and the same carrier to Makhachkala four times a week.
