Possible transport option between Magadan and Anchorage
I've been researching options for getting my bike from Anchorage to Magadan. I saw on the HUBB that Vladivostok Air will be starting passenger service between Anchorage and Magadan in July of 2008. I spoke with a Vladivostok Air representative in Seattle, (206) 443-1614, and he told me that the airline is in negotiations with cargo companies in Anchorage and will have chosen a company to handle cargo shipments to Russia by the end of March. The cargo will be shipped in passenger planes (737s I believe), and the possibility of flying a motorcycle as cargo will be left up to the cargo company they select. Vladivostok Air does fly motorcycles in their passenger planes currently (from Japan to Vladivostok). Let's keep our fingers crossed.
