Tourists from Moscow will be brought to Turkey with new flights

Ural Airlines' Moscow-origin flights to Turkey, Antalya, Dalaman, and Bodrum for summer tours have been put on sale. This was reported to the editors of Tourdom.ru by a subscriber of the "Roof of TourDom" telegram channel. The information was confirmed by the tour operator Fun & Sun, which offers these tour packages to its customers. In particular, the carrier plans to start flights to Bodrum in addition to the flights announced by other airlines starting from the end of May. Aeroflot planes will fly from Moscow to the resort during the summer season as well, just like in 2023. Biblio-Globus offers tours to its customers using these flights. Tour packages with AZUR flights are created by tour operators Anex and Intourist. The airline also plans flights from Moscow to Bodrum in partnership with the tour operator LOTI using the Lujo BlackJet business jet. Turkish airlines are also scheduling flights to the region. Tour reservations with Turkish Airlines flights can be made through Pegas Touristik, Anex, Intourist, Pegasus - Anex, and Intourist. It's worth noting that the same four airlines flew the same route last season, so we can consider Ural Airlines' transportation as an expansion. Will there be demand for the new flights? Experts say yes, but under certain conditions: "Tours to Bodrum sell well; it's a popular holiday destination. However, hotel rooms are quickly filling up, especially from tour operators from other markets such as Europe. Therefore, it makes sense for transportation to be arranged only for guaranteed hotel rooms. The leasing will be justified if the tour operator loading the flights instantly has the required number of rooms." Expectations for the flight program will also depend on prices: how competitive they will be compared to other market participants. Ural Airlines' flights to Turkish holiday destinations and Egypt came about due to the removal of aircraft from foreign registration and the elimination of possible claims. After completing an insurance agreement for 19 Airbus planes with an Irish lessor, the carrier will be able to fly the planes abroad again.

44-passenger Electric Plane, 1000 km Range

London-based company Lyte Aviation challenges traditional air transportation norms with its 44-seat VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft. The company's inaugural project, SkyBus, is designed as a large air vehicle. With a speed of 300 km/h and a range of 1000 km, the aircraft features a design similar to small business jets. The wings of the aircraft are equipped with 8 propellers, with medium-sized ones on the inside and smaller ones on the outside. Vertical takeoff and landing with rotating wings Lyte Aviation's innovative approach involves rotating wings for vertical takeoff and landing. During takeoff, the wings rotate, aligning the propellers to face upward. While this concept has been tested before, maintaining the balance of the aircraft, especially in windy conditions, becomes challenging with an aircraft of this size. Hydrogen Fuel Cell Propulsion System To lift the heavy body, Lyte Aviation plans to use turboprop engines that run on either conventional or sustainable jet fuel in its first aircraft. In the future, the company aims to integrate electric motors powered by hydrogen fuel cells into the wingtips. This integration would allow for faster propeller responses, making thrust adjustments more manageable. The company aims to have a full-scale prototype ready by 2024, with the first flight scheduled for 2025. In this context, Lyte Aviation announced a pre-order agreement worth 400 million euros with Indian-based Vman Aviation Services for 10 SkyBus aircraft. Revolutionizing Regional Flights With its new aircraft's ability to take off without the need for traditional runways, SkyBus has the potential to revolutionize regional flights. Lyte suggests that SkyBus could facilitate inter-island travel or provide on-demand flying bus services. Despite ambitious claims, previous ventures in large VTOL projects, such as those by GKN Aerospace and Braeden Kelekona, have faced numerous challenges and made limited progress. Examples like the Bell-Boeing AW609 aircraft, which has been striving for certification for 28 years, underscore the difficulties in this field. Therefore, it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that Lyte Aviation faces a challenging path ahead.
