OREANDA-NEWS. At 2pm on 16 May Koltsovo Airport hosted a festive ceremony to award the millionth Ural Airlines passenger in 2013. Svetlana Kosareva was the lucky one. She departed on Ural Airlines’ Yekaterinburg-Prague direct flight the same day.

Representatives of the airline welcomed the anniversary passenger at Koltsovo Airport to award her a nice gift - the right to fly Business Class from Yekaterinburg to Prague. All passengers of the lucky flight were offered a delicious Ural Airlines aircraft-shaped cake.

Our reminder: awarding anniversary passengers has already become a good tradition on Ural Airlines’ flights. The first anniversary passenger was awarded in October 2007 when the airline celebrated its millionth passenger; last year, the 3.5 millionth passenger was congratulated for the first time. It is worth noting that the millionth passenger flies on the airline’s flight even earlier each year. Last year, ticket number 1000000 was issued in June. The airline is planning to congratulate passenger number 4 million in 2013.
