Yakutia Airlines well-known for charter flights to Japan is planning to introduce direct scheduled services to Niigata from Khabarovsk and Vladivostok onboard brand new SSJ-100 aircraft. Yakutia is the second air line in Russia to employ Sukhoi Superjets after Aeroflot. The flight period is not too long - slightly over a month.

Charter air connection between Japan and Kamchatka is set to be resumed this July. A relevant agreement has been reached by Japan Air Travel Marketing company and Russian inbound tour operator KamchatIntour. In recent years, only flights to Tokyo were offered from the region. This year, however, there are going to be two services to Osaka. The routes will be operated by Yakutia Airline's brand new Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ-100) aircraft with up to 100 seats.
