OREANDA-NEWS. On 25 June 2008 was announced, that UTair (UTair Aviation, JSC) will launch regular flights from Moscow to Palanga and back on June 30, 2008. Flights to Lithuania's "summer capital" will be conducted weekly on Mondays and Fridays from Vnukovo Airport on the European jet ATR-42.

Palanga is yet another Baltic city on UTair's flight map. Last fall, the company introduced a new flight destination that rapidly became very popular with passengers: Moscow-Vilnius, also operated with ATR-42 jets. For more than three years, UTair's planes have been connecting the Russian capital with Kaliningrad. UTair flights from Baltic cities to Vnukovo Airport are conveniently scheduled to allow for easy transfer to dozens of connecting UTair departures to other destinations both in Russia and abroad.
All existing benefits provided to UTair clients apply to Moscow-Palanga flights. In particular, discounts for round trip tickets bought in advance, young persons' tariffs, special rates for pensioners and people traveling in groups.

The Frequent Flyer Program provides awards to STATUS members in the form of free tickets in exchange for points accrued during each UTair flight.

The plane leaves Moscow at 11:55 a.m., and at 2:10 p.m. from Palanga.
