In February, Red Wings will launch two direct flights from Ekaterinburg to Uzbekistan, Kommersant said. Reportedly, the carrier will launch flights to Urgench on February 13 and to Samarkand on February 14. This will be the first regular international flights from Koltsovo airport, the airline's press service said.
The flights will be operated on 100-seat Sukhoi Superjet aircraft.
"Since 2021, Red Wings has operated flights from Ekaterinburg to major cities of Uzbekistan, but these were charter flights," the company said.
The statement added that this charter program will continue in parallel with the regular flights.
