The Krasnoyarsk Region plans to begin regular tourist flights to the North Pole via the Taymyr in 2024, deputy head of the governor's administration Yulia Filatova told TASS at the Russian Creative Week - Siberia forum.

As yet, when tourists want to get to the North Pole, they get to the Spitsbergen Archipelago, and there they take an Antonov An-74 flight to the Barneo Ice Base, and further on onboard a Mil Mi-8 helicopter they eventually reach the North Pole. The new route via the Taimyr will be from the village of Khatanga.

"If everything goes well, and we are moving actively in this direction, then from next April these flights will be regular," the regional administration's representative said.
