OREANDA-NEWS. December 4, 2012. A festive awarding ceremony for Ural Airlines' third millionth passenger was conducted at Cologne/Bonn Airport. For the first time in its history, the airline has carried more than 3 million passengers. The anniversary Ural Airlines passenger was Andrey Andreyev who checked in for the Cologne - Moscow flight.

At Cologne/Bonn Airport the fortunate one was welcomed by representatives of the airline and the management team of Cologne Airport. He received an enjoyable present from the airline - the right to fly Business Class from Cologne to Moscow and a free open date ticket for the airline's new Cologne - Saint Petersburg flight to be launched in April 2013. Meanwhile, all passengers of the lucky flight had a chance to partake of a delicious cake.

Our reminder: awarding anniversary passengers has already become a good tradition on Ural Airlines' flights. The first anniversary passenger was awarded in October 2007 when the airline celebrated its millionth passenger; last year, the 2.5 millionth passenger was congratulated for the first time. It is noteworthy that the millionth and two millionth passenger is congratulated sooner each time due to the rapid growth of the airline's passenger traffic.
