KJA → TGP
Which side of the plane to sit from Yemelyanovo Airport (Krasnoyarsk) to Podkamennaya Tunguska Airport (Bor)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the Yenisei River's eastern banks and the rising slopes of the Central Siberian Plateau.
Search flights from KJA to TGP
Yenisei River
Continuous views of one of the world's most powerful rivers as the flight tracks north parallel to its course.
Central Siberian Plateau
The western edge of this vast plateau features ancient rock formations and rugged, elevated terrain.
Krasnoyarsk Outskirts
Early flight views of the industrial landscape and the Yenisei's wide channel near the city.
Tunguska Confluence
The dramatic meeting point of the Podkamennaya Tunguska and the Yenisei near the arrival in Bor.
The right side is the prime choice for river enthusiasts. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to catch the city's bridges and the 'Stolby' nature reserve rocks in the distance. During the descent into TGP, watch for the distinct change in water color where the Podkamennaya Tunguska joins the main river channel.

Western Siberian Taiga
Dense, uninterrupted stretches of dark coniferous forest characteristic of the subarctic zone.
Kas River Meanders
Intricate loops of the Kas River, which historically served as part of the route to the Ob River basin.
Western Horizon
The flat, expansive profile of the West Siberian Plain stretching toward the Ural Mountains.
Sit on this side during morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid glare. This side is ideal for observing the deep greens of the taiga without the interference of river reflections. During winter, look for the 'snow shadows' cast by the low-angled sun over the flat landscape.
