The flights from Vladivostok to Northern Primorye were 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 Amega, Terni, Delangorsk, Kavalerovo and others were suspended until the end of December.
The reason given was the closure of landing sites for technical reasons. The flights were made in small DHC-6 type turboprop planes with 19 seats. Now these places can only be reached by bus, and the journey will take more than 10 hours instead of an hour by plane.
"It is clear that in the past planes flew almost every day. But even after leaving one or two flights a week, it was still an alternative, even if you take into account the big rush for tickets. Now the only transportation option is a bus, which is more than 10 hours by road, instead of an hour by plane," said a local resident who often flies to Delangorsk.
It was also reported that the cost of a bus ticket is similar to the social fare of an airplane.
