VOZ → VKO
Which side of the plane to sit from Voronezh International Airport (Voronezh) to Vnukovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Voronezh Reservoir upon takeoff and provides a much better chance of seeing the distant Moscow City skyline during the descent into Vnukovo.
Voronezh Reservoir
Massive 'Voronezh Sea' provides a stunning reflective surface immediately after takeoff from VOZ.
Lipetsk Steelworks
One of the world's largest steel plants is visible, recognizable by its vast industrial footprint.
Oka River
A major geographic landmark crossing near Serpukhov, marking the transition into the Moscow Oblast.
Moscow City Skyline
On clear days during the descent, the skyscrapers of the Moscow International Business Center appear on the horizon.
Meshchersky Park
Large forest parks near the airport providing a green contrast to the urban sprawl during final landing.
The right side is best for morning flights as the rising sun illuminates the landscape. Keep your camera ready during the final 10-15 minutes; if the wind dictates a northern approach, you will get the best view of the Moscow skyscrapers.
Don River Meanders
Aerial view of the meandering Don River valley and its floodplains shortly after departure.
Tula Cityscape
The historic industrial city of Tula is visible as you transit north through the Central Russian Upland.
Yasnaya Polyana
The sprawling forested estate of Leo Tolstoy can be spotted just south of Tula.
Podolsk Suburbs
Densely populated residential areas and industrial zones marking the approach to the Moscow metropolitan area.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the natural curves of the Don River and the historical landscapes of the Tula region.
