The Jet Era: How the Tu-104 changed passenger transportation
On September 15, 1956, the jet Tu-104 made the first regular flight from Moscow to Irkutsk with an intermediate landing in Omsk with a total length of more than 4,500 km, and a month later performed the first international flight to Prague. Thanks to this liner, the USSR for two years remained the only country where jet aircraft were used on passenger lines.
