On April 24, 2009, Flight SL 2037 opened on the route Novosibirsk - Abakan – Kyzyl, which will fly twice a week.

As announced by “FederalPress” in the press service Interregional association “Siberian Agreement”, such an extraordinary event as establishing a new air route in the period of economic crisis was necessitated because over the past few months, practically no interregional flights to Tuva remained active.
“Airplane An-24 will go from Novosibirsk to Abakan and Kyzyl on Mondays and Fridays”, announced “FederalPress”. “The return flights will be on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The cost from Novosibirsk to Kyzyl will be 6,400 rubles; the partial route, Novosibirsk to Abakan will be 4,900 rubles, and Abakan to Kyzyl 2,500 rubles.”
