DME → IEV

Moscow City View

Depending on the departure path, a distant view of the Moscow International Business Center skyscrapers is often possible to the north.

Bryansk Nature Reserve

Fly over the vast, dense woodlands of the Bryansk region, one of the largest forest massifs in Europe.

Kiev Pechersk Lavra

On the approach to IEV, look for the glinting golden domes of the historic monastery complex perched on the Dnieper hills.

Motherland Monument

The massive stainless steel statue is clearly visible overlooking the river as the plane lines up with the Zhuliany runway.

Dnieper River Bridges

A spectacular sequence of bridges connecting the two halves of Kiev can be seen just minutes before touchdown.

Oka River Meanders

Shortly after takeoff from DME, you will see the winding path of the Oka River through the Moscow region's lush greenery.

Chernihiv Skyline

One of the oldest cities in Ukraine is visible to the east as you cross the border, identifiable by its historic church spires.

Left Bank Residential Blocks

During the final approach, the dense, high-rise residential districts of Kiev's Left Bank create an impressive urban grid.

Desna River Mouth

Watch for the blue waters of the Desna River as it joins the mighty Dnieper just north of the city limits.
