Planes from St. Petersburg to Istanbul will fly more frequently in the new year

The number of flights to Istanbul (Turkey) from St. Petersburg airport will increase from January 6. Instead of one flight per day there will be two flights in this direction.

TV channel "78" with reference to the publication "Kommersant" specifies that the additional flight will be made by Pegasus Airlines. From Pulkovo airport the plane will depart at 02:30, in Istanbul it will land at 06:25 local time.
