History

Development

Prague Ruzyne Airport in 2014. Moskovia introduced the type in 2013.[3] At least one aircraft of the type that had been operated by Moskovia entered serviced with Red Wings Airlines.[4][5]

The airline was established on 4 October 1995 (1995-10-04) as a wholly owned

Yak-40s) made up the fleet until 2009, when leased Boeing 737s were phased in. The Sukhoi Superjet 100 was incorporated into the fleet in 2013.[3]

Grounding

Moskovia Airlines filed for

Rosaviatsia suspending the commercialisation of tickets and the airline shrinking its operations to serve just the Moscow–Tivat route.[1] That month, it was reported that the company would apparently continue its operations as a charter airline.[2]

In August 2014 (2014-08), Rosaviatsia suspended the Moskovias's air operator's certificate (AOC) following the carrier's CEO stating the carrier could no longer operate due to financial difficulties.[1] One of the causes for the suspension of the AOC responded to the fact that Moskovia did not meet the Russian regulations for the minimum number of aircraft to operate scheduled passenger services.[8] After three months of suspension, the AOC was finally cancelled in December 2014 (2014-12).[10][11]
