OREANDA-NEWS. November 17, 2009. Vladivostok Air is a unique airline which offers through air service between Khabarovsk and Anadyr. Actually, air traffic is the most convenient way to reach from the Chukotka Autonomous District to Khabarovsky krai. There is no railway traffic between regions and water traffic is carried out only in navigation period.

Adjusting the given air flight connection, which was interrupted in October, Vladivostok Air carries out not only the social program of local population support for whom the plane is almost the only means of transportation, but also helps the Chukchi businessmen transporting northern delicacies.
