Russia’s Nordwind Airlines joined hands with a Moscow-based IT service to train North Korean Air Koryo staff on using ticketing systems inside the DPRK, according to a Nordwind press release Monday, a move likely heralding an increase of North Korean arrivals in Russia.

Nordwind Airlines, the first company in decades to launch direct flights between Moscow and Pyongyang last year, announced that the route is functioning “steadily on a year-round basis,” suggesting in the readout it could accommodate more travelers with the help of modern booking and ticketing equipment.

The company said it signed “an agency agreement with Air Koryo”
