Ural Airlines is one of Russia's largest and oldest carriers, headquartered in Yekaterinburg. Founded in 1993 as a successor to Soviet-era Sverdlovsk Civil Aviation Enterprise, the airline has grown significantly to serve dozens of domestic and international destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
