Our Arctic Neighbors: Alaska gets charter flights to Russia

Alaska welcomed a new Russian air carrier to state runways on July 7.

The inaugural flight of Vladivostok Air arrived at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport at 5:45 a.m. and left for Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky at 7:45 a.m.

The new carrier will provide passenger charters connecting Russia and Alaska. 

“It’s a delight to welcome Vladivostok Air, a company with a 75-year history, to Alaska,” said Kris Perry, director of the Governor’s Office of International Trade. “After more than five years without direct air service to Russia, we Alaskans appreciate the important link this provides to both sides. This new service is great for Alaska.”

Vladivostok Air has announced a two-month schedule of weekly charters between Anchorage and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, with same-plane service on to Vladivostok.
