URJ β HMA
Which side of the plane to sit from Uray Airport (Uraj) to Khanty Mansiysk Airport (Khanty-Mansiysk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the massive Irtysh River and its spectacular confluence with the Ob River near the destination, along with the iconic 'Red Dragon' bridge.
Konda River Meanders
Spectacular oxbow lakes and dramatic river loops visible shortly after departure from Uray.
The Mighty Irtysh
The wide, silty expanse of the Irtysh River as it flows from the south towards the Ob.
The Great Confluence
The stunning geographic point where the Irtysh and Ob rivers merge into a single massive waterway.
Red Dragon Bridge
The famous red steel arch bridge that serves as a landmark gateway to Khanty-Mansiysk.
Samarovsky Chugas
The hilly, forested parkland rising above the city, offering a unique vertical contrast to the flat plains.
This is the preferred side for photographers. The approach to HMA usually follows the Irtysh valley, providing a perfect view of the 'Red Dragon' bridge and the city skyline. In the summer, the evening sun illuminates the river system beautifully, while in spring, the ice breakup on the Irtysh is a must-see phenomenon.
West Siberian Taiga
An endless green carpet of dense coniferous forest stretching toward the northern horizon.
Marshland Patterns
Intricate geometric patterns of peat bogs and small kettle lakes characteristic of the Siberian lowlands.
Konda Tributaries
Silver threads of water snaking through the wilderness to the north of the flight path.
Northern HMA Suburbs
The expanding residential areas of Khanty-Mansiysk nestled against the taiga.
Choose this side for a peaceful view of the remote wilderness. During winter months, this side is ideal for spotting the Aurora Borealis on late evening flights, as it faces North. Keep your eyes peeled for small oil extraction sites dotting the forest.
