Flights directly from northern Krasnoyarsk Region to Minsk's airport will commence operation.
In Siberia's Krasnoyarsk region, starting from May through July, folk from the Northern city of Norilsk can catch direct flights heading towards the sun-soaked destinations of Sochi and Mineralnye Vodie, located on the lush shores of the majestic Caucasus. Alongside these exotic escapes, Norilsk inhabitants will have the opportunity to travel to cities near the coast and Russia's major caps, too.
The airline company NordStar has announced its summer schedule, which will be in effect from March 30th to October 25th. From the bleak, icy city, airplanes are set to depart for St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Kazan, Makachkala, Omsk, Samara, Perm', Abakan, Sochi, and various other cities, with routes to Moscow and Krasnoyarsk remaining constant.
For those seeking the sun-kissed summer haven of Mineralnye Vodie, direct, non-stop flights are planned from May through July. Conversely, the return flight from Mineralnye Vodie to Norilsk is scheduled from July to September. During peak vacation periods for the Northern folk, flights to Sochi will increase to four times a week. Flights for residents of Krasnoyarsk to Sochi will become a daily occurrence, too.
Hopping onto a Boeing 737-800 is what you can expect for the flights.
Tourists from Krasnoyarsk will also be able to directly arrive in Sochi through flights offered by Nordwind, Rossiya, and Ikar, while the flights to Mineralnye Vodie remain exclusive to Rossiya Airlines.
Take note that, as of the current search results for the May through July period of 2025, direct flights from Norilsk straight to Sochi or Mineralnye Vodie haven't been explicitly mentioned[1][2]. Most likely, travelers from Norilsk would need to make connecting flights, often via Moscow or other major airport hubs served by airlines like Aeroflot[5].
It is always best to double-check live flight booking platforms or contact airlines directly for the most accurate and up-to-date schedule, as seasonal schedules can vary and may open new routes closer to the travel dates.
