Flights from Vladivostok to Northern Primorye have been suspended until the end of the year due to the condition of the runways.
In the Primorsky Territory, passenger flights from Vladivostok to the northern settlements of Amago, Terni, Delangorsk, Kavalerovo and others were suspended for two months, from November 1 to the end of December.
The reason is the closing of landing sites for technical reasons. These places can now only be reached by bus, and the journey will take more than 10 hours instead of an hour by plane.
The flights were operated by small 19-seat DHC-6 turboprop aircraft to seven destinations, almost everywhere with two flights a week. Social rates were in effect for pensioners, disabled and students.
The flight Vladivostok - Dalangorsk in a commercial fare cost 8,412 rubles, in a social fare 3,460 rubles. The flights are displayed at the airport and on the Aurora websites, but when purchasing the ticket, the website gives an error.
The passengers say that even after the reduction to one or two flights a week, the plane remains an alternative, but now only the bus remains.
A bus ticket to Terni costs from 4.7 thousand rubles with a travel time of 11 hours 20 minutes, while a social fare flight costs 3.8 thousand.
