The flights to North Primoria were temporarily suspended due to the condition of the landing strips.
In Primorsky territory, flights of passenger planes from Vladivostok to the northern settlements of Amago, Terni, Dalengorsk, Kavalerovo and others were suspended. The reason for this was the closing of the landing strips for technical reasons. At the same time, information from journalists, airlines and regional authorities regarding the timing of the suspension of flights varies.
Therefore, flights to regional destinations are now displayed on the websites of Vladivostok Airport and Aurora Airlines. However, if you try to buy a ticket, the site will give an error at the last step of the purchase. The airline told VL News that flights to all regional destinations were suspended from November 1 until the end of December.
"In the Primorsky Territory, from November 1 until the end of December, transportation was stopped in all directions. The reason was the closure of landing sites for technical reasons," said Aurora Airlines.
⁉ In turn, the Regional Ministry of Transportation assured today that air traffic with remote settlements of the Primorsky Territory is already being carried out in full, and the suspension of certain flights to the northern regions of the region was due to planned maintenance of the runways.
Regional flights in the Primorsky Territory are operated by small turboprop DHC-6 aircraft with 19 seats. For pensioners, disabled and students, social fares apply, which reduce the cost of the flight by almost 3,500 thousand rubles or more. For example, a flight from Vladivostok to Delangorsk at a commercial rate costs 8,412 rubles, and at a social rate - 3,460. The travel time by bus takes 10 hours instead of an hour by plane. In addition, traveling by regular bus will cost more than the social fare - from 4.7 thousand rubles.
