Middle Ural Ridge
A bird's-eye view of the ancient mountain range that serves as the geographical boundary between Europe and Asia.
Chusovaya River
The winding path of this iconic river as it cuts through the mountain rock, visible about 20 minutes into the flight.
Trans-Siberian Tracks
The steel ribbons of the railway snaking through deep mountain passes and dense forest clearings.
Vychegda Meanders
The intricate, loop-like patterns of the Vychegda River and its floodplains as the aircraft descends into Syktyvkar.
Snow-Capped Peaks
In winter and early spring, the ridges appear as a stark, beautiful white landscape against the dark forest green.
This is the preferred side for nature lovers. Approximately 15 to 25 minutes after takeoff, look closely for the primary ridges of the Urals. During the final 10 minutes of the flight, the right side provides a more scenic view of the river systems surrounding Syktyvkar. Morning flights on this side offer the best illumination of the terrain below.

Yekaterinburg Skyline
Panoramic views of the Sverdlovsk region's capital and the Verkh-Isetsky pond shortly after takeoff.
Industrial Heartland
Aerial view of the massive metallurgical complexes and open-pit mines near the cities of Revda and Pervouralsk.
Komi Taiga
Vast expanses of dense, dark coniferous forests that characterize the southern territory of the Komi Republic.
Southwestern Horizon
Excellent lighting for photography during evening flights, with the sun setting over the European plains.
Choose this side if you want the best view of Yekaterinburg's urban sprawl during the initial climb. For evening departures, the window will offer warm lighting, but be aware of glare. It is also the better side for spotting the industrial scale of the western Ural foothills.
