Yekaterinburg Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Sverdlovsk regional capital and its modern glass towers during the initial climb.
The Ural Divide
A breathtaking look at the spine of the Ural Mountains, the ancient natural border between Europe and Asia.
Pristine Taiga
Dense stretches of the Northern Ural forests, featuring deep green firs and pines that stretch to the horizon.
Konzhakovsky Kamen
View of one of the highest peaks in the Central/Northern Urals, often capped with snow late into the spring.
Choose a seat in the front or rear of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. For morning flights, the western-facing left side is beautifully lit without direct sun glare. Look for the 'Ural ridge' about 20-30 minutes after departure. Seasonal snow cover from October to May makes the mountain contours particularly sharp and photogenic.

Industrial Heartland
Views of the heavy industrial infrastructure and metal processing plants near the city of Serov.
Volchikhinskoye Reservoir
A massive body of water that serves as a vital resource for the region, visible shortly after takeoff.
Siberian Lowlands
The beginning of the vast West Siberian Plain, characterized by intricate marshlands and peat bogs.
Gas Industry Lights
During evening flights, the distant glow of oil and gas infrastructure becomes visible as you approach Nyagan.
The right side is ideal for spotting human-made landmarks and the vastness of the Siberian plains. During night flights, keep an eye out for the distinct orange glow of distant gas flares. This side is better if you prefer seeing the geological transition from the foothills into the flat, swampy terrain of the Khanty-Mansi region.
