Today it seems that it has always been like this. Or at least, a very, very long time ago. Board a plane in Kamchatka, and a little over 8 hours later you are already in the capital. Departure at 9 am – arrive at 9 am. Meanwhile, June 16 marks only 41 years since the day when the flagship of the Soviet Aeroflot Il-62M made the first nonstop flight Moscow – Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Back in 1978, this flight opened the longest nonstop route in the country.
