NNM → KVX
Which side of the plane to sit from Naryan Mar Airport (Naryan-Mar) to Pobedilovo Airport (Kirov)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers superior views of the Pechora River's winding course and the ancient Timan Ridge, providing a more diverse geological perspective of the Russian North.

Pechora River Meanders
Immediately after takeoff, view the intricate network of oxbow lakes and silver channels of one of Russia's largest northern rivers.
Timan Ridge
Spot the weathered elevations of this ancient mountain range, appearing as subtle dark ripples against the vast tundra landscape.
Virgin Komi Forests
Witness the dramatic transition from the sparse shrub-tundra of the Arctic Circle to the dense, dark green canopy of the northern taiga.
Usinsk Basin
On very clear days, the distant industrial lights or infrastructure of the Komi Republic's energy hubs can be seen to the southeast.
Sit on the left for the best morning light during southbound flights. This side provides the best angle for the Pechora River's floodplain during the first 20 minutes of flight. In winter, look for the 'snow shadows' that define the low relief of the Timan Ridge.

Nenets Tundra
Gaze out over the vast, treeless expanse of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, a landscape shaped by permafrost and arctic winds.
Thermokarst Lakes
Observe thousands of small, circular glacial and permafrost lakes that dot the terrain like blue glass shards.
Vyatka Agricultural Mosaic
As you descend into the Kirov region, notice the landscape shift into a patchwork of forest strips and agricultural fields.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the Arctic sunset, which lasts much longer at these latitudes. During the descent into Kirov, keep an eye out for the small villages and rural dacha communities that become more frequent than in the sparsely populated north.
