OREANDA-NEWS. January 15, 2013. Following the results of 2012, Ural Airlines have carried 3.5 M passengers. The carrier's record-breaking passenger was carried on the New Year's eve - 30 December - by flight U6-262 Ekaterinburg - Moscow. This turned out to be Vladimir Georgiyev, a resident of Ekaterinburg.

Our reminder: Following the results of 2011, the airline has carried 2.5 M passengers. It is worth noting that the Ural Airlines passenger traffic grows year by year; however, it is for the first time in the airline's history that it has grown by one million people in one year.

The airline will now congratulate its record-breaking passenger in the new year - the lucky guy will receive a certificate for a round trip for 2 within Russia on any scheduled Ural Airlines flight.
