May 16, 2017 (newstodate): According to Russia's regulatory body Rosaviatsia, Ural Airlines has been designated to offer flights between Russia and Denmark.
Ural Airlines may thus offer up to seven weekly rotations on a new route between Moscow's new Ramenskoye Zhukovsky Airport and Copenhagen Airport, carrying passengers, cargo and mail.
While the option is thus now open for Ural Airlines to prepare for a start of the flights to Denmark, it remains to be seen when, or if, the carrier will actually exercise these rights.
Commissioned on May 30, 2016, the 4th international airport to serve the Moscow area, Ramenskoye Zhukovsky Airport has so far found it hard to lure airlines to set up traffic.
In January 2014, Lithuania's Avia Solutions Group and Russia's state-owned Rostec Group entered a JV to develop and manage Ramenskoye Zhukovsky Airport that has two runways, one of which is the longest in Europe - 5,400m.
The need for a fourth airport to relive congestion at airports in the Moscow region was imperative at the time the project was launched, but with the dampening of Russian air traffic since the imposition of sanctions on the country after the Crimean annexation and the participation in the war in Ukraine, the airport is still facing problems in filling its apron with customers.
