UTair launches two new domestic routes from St Petersburg

• UTair launched two new routes out of St Petersburg (LED) on 8 January. The fast-growing airline then began serving the oil town Khanty-Mansiysk (HMA), a distance of 2,115 kilometres, with a weekly service and also launched six flights a week to the northern port town of Naryan-Mar (NNM), located near the Barents Sea. Both routes are operated with CRJ200 aircraft and neither faces competition. UTair notably serves both destinations from a number of Russian airports.
