Ural Airlines (U6/SVR) — full-service carrier from Russia, based at Yekaterinburg Koltsovo (SVX), not an alliance member.About Ural Airlines
Ural Airlines grew out of the Sverdlovsk division of the Soviet Aeroflot and has been independent since 1993, based at Yekaterinburg in the Urals — the point where European and Asian Russia meet. It flies an all-Airbus narrow-body fleet.
Its route map is built around connecting Russian regions to each other and to Asia without going through Moscow, which is what puts it on the Beijing map.
Ural Airlines flights from Beijing Daxing
Three destinations from Daxing: Yekaterinburg, plus Irkutsk and Vladivostok. The Yekaterinburg service is the notable one — a direct link between Beijing and the Urals that avoids the Moscow detour, roughly six hours in the air.
Ural Airlines flies from PKX to 3 destinations:
- Irkutsk
- Vladivostok
- Yekaterinburg
Route lists change with the summer and winter schedules, and frequencies change more often than that. For the flights operating today, check the live arrivals and departures boards.
Planning your trip
At Beijing Daxing, Ural Airlines checks in at Level 4 departures (international). Check-in closes 30 minutes before departure on domestic flights and 45 minutes before departure on international ones — Daxing is a large building, and the walk from check-in to a far gate is a real part of your timing.
- Yekaterinburg is a connecting point for the Urals and western Siberia; few travellers stop there.
- Fares are usually below the flag carriers' on the same city pairs, with correspondingly basic service.
- Check visa requirements early — Russian visas take longer than most and cannot be arranged on arrival.
Getting to the airport takes planning of its own: the Daxing Airport Express and the intercity railway are the fastest options from central Beijing, with taxis and private transfers as the door-to-door alternatives. The airport guide covers terminal layout, security and what is open landside.
