AS used to fly from ANC to Petropavlosk but quit after a short time. Probably not profitable. I know that they had to pay a fine for deicing a B737 with vodka, thats right vodka, when deicing fluid apparently wasn't available. That was several years ago. There is one airline operating scheduled service between ANC and the Russian Far East. It is Malvial (sp?) Airlines. ICAO code is "MVL". They use a TU154 for this service. It operates a couple or three times a week. Stuart Bigler ANC ATCT
