Good idea, Lucia! I would support that.
I know Vlad Avia and Mavial (Magadan Airlines) have tried doing it, but I think
that both of those attempts failed. I know that there is demand in the market
(Russians in the Far East like to come to Anchorage for cheap, bulk shopping,
and Americans/Canadians like to come to Sakhalin for business). A 7-8 hour
journey from door-to-door is much more pleasant than a 27 hour journey around
the world.
I am not an expert and have not done a market study, but I would think that
Aeroflot could do well with a Vladivostok or Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to Anchorage
flight.

They had a flight Vladivostok-Anchorage in the dirty 90es...
let's lobby to restore it, you'd find a lot of supporters in Primorye
:)

Raffi,
Our friends at Aeroflot have come up with a good solution. They have re-routed
the flight path of the direct Moscow to Los Angeles flight to avoid the ash.
Lately, it has been flying from Moscow East to Alaska, then down the Pacific
Coast to Los Angeles. This adds about 1.5 hours to the regular flight time of
12 hours (which normally flies over the North Atlantic, Greenland and Canada),
but as a result, it has kept people moving between the US and Russia. Good job
Aeroflot!
(if I could just convince them to add a regular flight to Anchorage, I'd be
super happy).
Regards,
Tony the Alaskan (but for the last 10+ years in Russia)
