"Last year, we met our passengers' wishes and had the Beijing terminal changed for us," says Marianna Galagura, the airline's head of international sales.  "In the beginning, we were to use Terminal 2, which is mostly domestic.

It was convenient for those who connected to flights of our partners, such as China Southern, but at the time of departure there was no duty-free shopping in Terminal 2. We were certainly aware of the importance of that aspect and at the first opportunity of renegotiating the slots we changed for Terminal 3. One weak point only  was remaining with our flights to Beijing: two a week was too little. Now, I hope we'll be able to cover both the holidaymaking and the business travel demand for this destination".

It is worthy of note that Terminal 3 in Beijing is the largest and the most modern one, build on the occasion of the Olympic Games. Spacious and comfortable, with a lot of cafes and additional services lounges, that terminal receives only well-trusted airlines, major national carriers.

Beside the logistic advantages, U6 is also heedful of its passengers' immediate needs and keeps European cuisine without hot spices, two-meal catering, complimentary drinks and additional services in flight.
