OREANDA-NEWS. June 6, 2011. Ural Airlines launched the Yekaterinburg – Kiev – Yekaterinburg scheduled international air service. Over a hundred passengers boarded the maiden flight that Wednesday and received gifts: chocolates with the airline's logo and desk diaries.

U6 will fly to the centuries-long city once a week, Wednesdays, with A320 planes. It is a direct service saving passengers a lot of time (the travel time is 3 hours 20 minutes), ideally suitable for families with children.

Kiev is a city people immediately fall in love with. It is an opportunity to have a feel of ancient history, to meet kind-hearted people, to taste unbelievably delicious and affordable food. Kiev welcomes heartily both those who already love it and newcomers, for whom it has real treats in store.

The treats, by the way, are everywhere: one can go to the Bald Hill, where the witches' Sabbath was attended by Bulgakov's Margarita, see Mikhail Vrubel's frescoes in St. Cyril's Church or hear the epics of Nikita Kozhemyaka. Kiev's each house, each street is history alive, interlaced with legends and inseparable from present-day life.

Just to remind you, Ural Airlines operates at present flights from Yekaterinburg to these Southern destinations: Sochi, Baku, Yerevan, Tashkent, Simferopol, Mineralnye Vody, Krasnodar and Anapa.
