Russian Carrier Resumes Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk – Beijing Link

Posted 03/06/2011

SAT Sakhalinskie Aviatrassy has this week inaugurated a weekly passenger service between the Eastern Russian city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and the Chinese capital Beijing, resuming a route it has not served for the past two years.  The airline is offering just a Saturday rotation and will compete directly with Vladivostok Air which currently offers two rotations per week.  An estimated 9,400 O&D passengers travelled on the route in the past year, a significant rise over the previous 12 month period when there were no direct flights. 

SAT Airlines currently operates a mixed fleet of Bombardier Dash 8 regional turboprops and older generation Boeing 737 jets.  It mainly operates between points in Russia’s Far East region and destinations in China and Japan, including Dalian, Harbin, Hakodate and Sapporo.

Schedule:

HZ171 UUS0850 – 0940PEK 737 6
HZ172 PEK1040 – 1710UUS 737 6
