Krasnoyarsk governor invites businesses to reintroduce tourist flights to North Pole

Russian Aviaton » Thursday April 15, 2021 18:54 MSK

Big businesses could eye resuming tourist flights to the North Pole via Khatanga in the Krasnoyarsk Region, Governor Alexander Uss said at a meeting of the Russian Geographical Society (RGO) on Wednesday. This reported by TASS.

"There is a direction, which without really big investments could become an icon. I mean flights to the North Pole. They used to be in the past, and later on organizational barriers stopped the business. <…> It is one of just a few locations in the country from where to get to the North Pole," the Krasnoyarsk Region’s governor said. "Even if we make ten flights per a season, it will be a unique product."

GO’s regional division features several big businesses.

Presently, tourists get to Spitzbergen (Norway’s Svalbard), from where they take an Antonov An-74 flight to the Barneo Ice Camp, and then fly to the North Pole onboard a Mil Mi-8 helicopter.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
