Yakutsk (YKS) → Moscow (DME)
A reference for the Yakutsk Airport to Domodedovo International Airport route. You'll find the operators on file, the great-circle geometry, the connecting options if no nonstop fits your dates, and a short profile of each endpoint airport.
The flight from Yakutsk (YKS) to Moscow (DME) covers a great-circle distance of roughly 4,897 km (3,043 miles). Aircraft leave Yakutsk Airport on an initial northwest heading. As domestic sectors go, this one sits in the extended long-haul bracket: long enough that most carriers run it as its own dedicated rotation, but short enough to fit inside a single crew duty period.
2 carriers file a direct YKS to DME sector, with S7 Airlines and Transaero Airlines among the operators on record. A route attracting this many carriers usually points to a city pair with both leisure and business demand, or a competitive hub-to-hub link where the airline alliances overlap on the same metal.

Sectors this long are almost always flown by widebodies with extra fuel tankage. The 787-9, A350-900, and 777 family are the regulars on routes like this. Block time runs about 6h 30m, with two meal services, a long sleep cycle, and (on premium fares) lie-flat seating that's now the industry default for journeys this long.
If a nonstop doesn't match your dates, St. Petersburg (LED), Novosibirsk (OVB), and Krasnoyarsk (KJA) show up on both ends of the network and make the most natural connecting points. The connecting-hubs grid below extends that list to the eight strongest options, ranked by each airport's overall departure activity. That ranking is a fast proxy for how many onward flights a single stop is likely to feed.
Connecting hubs
Airports that already appear on both ends of this network. They're the natural one-stop options when no nonstop matches your dates, ranked by overall departure activity.
Both endpoints sit inside Russia, so this is a domestic sector subject to local rules on baggage, identification, and security. Domestic flying often gets different tax treatment than international itineraries, so when you compare fares look at the all-in price (with domestic departure taxes included) rather than the base fare alone. See the Russia routes index for other domestic pairs.
On the day of operation, the YKS to DME direction lifts off heading northwest, then the great-circle track curves to compensate for the Earth's rotation. The return DME to YKS sector heads northeast out of the gate, with 1 operators on file for the inbound side. Combine the two operator lists for a full picture of the city pair's competitive landscape.

Reading this route page
The operator list reflects scheduled-route filings in the OpenFlights dataset, not real-time availability. A carrier appearing here publishes a scheduled service on this sector. It isn't a live timetable, and the actual flight numbers, frequencies, and aircraft types shift season to season. For booking and current schedules, cross-reference the airline page above with the carrier's own website.
Distance here is the great-circle arc between the two airports' published coordinates. Real flight tracks wander off that line because of wind, ATC routings, oceanic crossings, and political airspace constraints. Block time is an estimate covering ground taxi, climb, cruise at typical jet speeds, and descent. Real block times shift with aircraft type, weather, and traffic, so treat the stat-strip number as a planning indicator rather than a published flight time.
