OREANDA-NEWS. August 2, 2012. UTair Aviation has launched new online service on its website www.utair.ru, which enables passengers to book and buy tickets for Aeroexpress electric trains connecting Vnukovo International Airport with Kievskiy railway station and Domodedovo International Airport with Paveletsky railway station in central Moscow.

The new service can also be used by transit passengers, travelling through Moscow. Booking tickets on Aeroexpress is available through a link on www.utair.ru. Passengers can perform payment for Aeroexpress tickets as well as UTair tickets via credit card.

After the payment passengers receive two itinerary receipts both for a train and a plane. Then they need to print the receipt in order to use its bar code at the scanning devices of turnstiles at a railway station.

Purchasing tickets both for a flight and for Aeroexpress allows passengers to get to the destination quickly and comfortably without spending any time on purchasing them at Aeroexpress box offices.
