Which side of the plane to sit from Nyagan Airport (Nyagan) to Beloyarskiy Airport (Beloyarsky)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the magnificent Ob River valley, showcasing a labyrinth of water channels, islands, and oxbow lakes that define the Siberian landscape.
Ob River Floodplain
The massive scale of the Ob River is visible, featuring a complex network of secondary channels and sandbars.
Meandering Oxbows
Highly intricate crescent-shaped lakes created by the historical movement of the river bed.
Beloyarsky Approach
A great view of the Kazym River and the town's compact layout as the plane maneuvers for landing.
This is the premier side for photography. The Ob River is the star attraction; try to book a morning flight so the sun illuminates the water from the east, highlighting the river's texture. Because the flight is very short (often under 40 minutes), keep your window shade up from the moment of takeoff to catch the immediate river views.
Nyagan Suburbs
Aerial view of the northern residential districts and industrial oil infrastructure right after takeoff.
Siberian Taiga
The dense, uninterrupted canopy of the Western Siberian Lowland forest stretches to the horizon.
Thermokarst Lakes
Small, perfectly circular lakes formed by melting permafrost dotting the boggy terrain.
Choose this side for sunset views on evening flights. Watch for the stark contrast between the industrial Nyagan landscape and the wild taiga. In winter, look for wildlife tracks in the snow-covered clearings which are surprisingly visible from lower altitudes.
