In January, Utair launches 3 new routes to Elista: from Astrakhan, Volgograd and Krasnodar. The airline will also resume flights to the capital of Kalmykia from Sochi and will continue to fly from Rostov-on-Don. Flights to each destination will be operated twice a week on a modern ATR 72 aircraft.
Today, the ATR 72 is one of the most environmentally friendly aircraft with reduced fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions.
“Utair opened flights to Elista in the spring of 2021 as part of the development of direct flights between the cities of the Southern Federal District. This direction is in demand among our passengers, so we made a decision in 2022 to open new routes to the capital of Kalmykia from the regions so that residents of the South can travel non-stop at economical fares, ”commented Oleg Semyonov, President of Utair - Passenger Airlines.
