On the 26th March Sibir introduced its new summer schedule through to 28th October 2000. The schedule, an increase of 100% over the winter schedule, reflects the usual summer increase of frequency flights from Novosibirsk to Vladivostok, St. Petersburg, Samara, Irkutsk, Yakutsk and the substitution of larger aircraft to carry high summer traffic. Under the summer schedule, Sibir will undertake 120 flights per week to 40 destinations including 33 internationally. From mid-June to mid-September Sibir plans 8 flights from Novosibersk and Omsk to Germany and in late May will introduce a new regular route Moscow-Munich, 2 times per week. Getting Siberians a taste of summer sun, the airline has two new flights being introduced from Novosibirsk and Nizhnevartovsk to Anapa, a resort on the Black Sea during the peak summer season of July and August. Sibir will also fly daily to Sochi from Novosibirsk and Moscow and weekly to Sochi from Barnaul, Tomsk, Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk, and Nizhnevartovsk. Flying weekly from Novosibirsk to Simferopol, the Ukrainian Black Sea resort and Mineralnye Vody, a mineral water spa resort. Sibir also has an extensive charter schedule over the summer flying from Novosibirsk to Larnaca (Cyprus), Antoly (Turkey), Burgas and Varna (Bulgaria); from Moscow to Larnaca, Antoly, Majorca (Spain). To meet international aircraft requirements for the non CIS destinations, Sibir has modernised 2 Tu-154M in 1999 equipping them with individual oxygen systems and 4 Tu-154M and 1 Il-86 were upgraded with TCAS-II collision avoidance and radio equipment to meet the new requirements of the JAA.
