Aeroflot resumes direct flights from Yekaterinburg to Goa

Following support from the Indian government, the Russian airline Aeroflot will resume direct scheduled flights between Yekaterinburg to the Indian state of Goa from 2nd October this year.

Three flights each week will operate from Koltsovo Airport, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The airline says it will operate Boeing 737-800 aircraft in a two-class cabin layout: 20 Business class seats and 138 Economy class seats on the route,  with the aircraft servicing taking place in India to bypass U.S. sanctions on spare parts.

Goa is said to be one of the favourite places for Russians to relax on the beach and residents of the Sverdlovsk region and the nearest regions can comfortably and directly get to the coast of the Indian Ocean.
