As it is noted, the only possible air vehicle during the period of renovation works will be the Mi-8T helicopter. In connection with the change of the type of aircraft, an increase in the cost of air travel is expected. Air connection with the Solovetsky Islands is carried out from Arkhangelsk. One can reach the archipelago from the Karelian cities of Kem and Belomorsk by sea transport.
