Residents of Northern Primorye were left without flights to Vladivostok due to wear and tear on the landing pads.
In Primorsky territory, passenger flights from Vladivostok to the northern settlements have been suspended until the end of the year. Aurora Airlines told VL News that flights were suspended on November 1 due to "landing site closures for technical reasons." Flights are still displayed on the websites of the carrier and Vladivostok airport, but it is not possible to buy tickets for them.
Small DHC-6 turboprop aircraft with a capacity of 19 passengers are used on regional routes. They flew from Vladivostok to Delangorsk, Kavalerovo, Pelaston, Terni, Praobrazhnia, Amga and Dinka, making one or two flights a week. Now these settlements can only be reached by bus. Depending on the direction, the trip takes more than ten hours instead of an hour by plane. At the same time, the cost of a bus ticket is higher than the social fare for a plane, which is available to students, pensioners and the disabled. Thus, a trip from Vladivostok to Terni will cost these categories of citizens at least 4.7 thousand rubles instead of 3.8 thousand rubles and will take 11 hours and 20 minutes.
