RusLine Airlines Launches New Route Between Orenburg and Sukhum

RusLine Airlines is launching a new route connecting Orenburg and Sukhum. The inaugural flight will depart from Sukhum to Orenburg on 8 July, with flights from Orenburg beginning on 9 July. The route will operate once weekly: on Thursdays from Orenburg and on Wednesdays in the return direction. The flight programme runs until 3 September 2026. Flights will be operated on comfortable 50-seat Bombardier CRJ100/200 aircraft. Flight duration is 2 hours 45 minutes. Fares start from RUB 10,137 one way, inclusive of all airline charges. Seats are limited; agent service fees may apply.

«The launch of direct air service between Orenburg and Sukhum is the result of a joint effort by RusLine Airlines and the Government of Orenburg Region to expand transport connectivity to popular tourist destinations. The new route gives residents of Orenburg Region convenient access to Abkhazia, which draws visitors with its warm sea, mild climate and scenic landscapes. We are confident the route will be in strong demand during the summer holiday season, making travel to the Black Sea coast even more accessible», said Rostislav Petrov, Director of Network and Sales at RusLine Airlines.

Tickets are available on the RusLine website and at all airline ticket offices.
