Air traffic between Kunashir and Shikotan will resume on October 25

Regular helicopter flights between the islands of Kunashir and Shikotan in the Sakhalin region will resume on October 25 after a break from September. This was reported in the regional government.

Flights on the Mi-8 were suspended due to the rising cost of fuel and spare parts. After the appeal of residents, Governor Valery Limarenko instructed to restore air traffic.

Flights will be operated on Sundays. They will allow residents of Shikotan to get to Yuzhno-Kurilsk on Kunashir, and then fly to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.

A ticket for residents with registration in the Sakhalin region will cost 5 thousand rubles. You can buy it on the airline's website or at the ticket office. Funds for the resumption of flights were allocated from the regional budget.
