Fly like a deer: For the fourth congress of reindeer herders, Polar Airlines transported honorary participants from Tiksi to Yakutsk on a cargo An-26

The An-26 aircraft, known for its ability to fly in difficult climatic conditions, was an ideal option for transporting reindeer

Polar Airlines, at the request of Russian Post, organized a flight from the village of Tiksi to Yakutsk. On board the plane were unusual passengers - domestic reindeer belonging to the municipal unitary enterprise "Bulunskoye."

A cargo aircraft An-26 was used to transport the animals. This aircraft, known for its ability to fly in difficult climatic conditions, was the best choice for transporting reindeer.

We have previously transported a polar bear, musk oxen, reindeer and are familiar with all the features that must be taken into account when organizing transportation.
