Moskwa ( Russian Москва , also known as Moscow Airlines ), trading as Atlant-Soyuz Airlines (Авиакомпания Атлант-Союз) until October 2010 , was a Russian airline based in Moscow .
history
Atlant-Soyuz Airlines was founded as a joint venture in June 1993 by private investors (75%) and the city of Moscow in Moscow. The airline uses the official city arms on the tail unit of the aircraft. The aircraft were initially taken over by Aeroflot , and flight operations began in July 1993.
On March 6, 2007, the European Union banned nine Russian airlines, including Atlant-Soyuz Airlines, from flying within the European Union. The reason are violations of flight safety. The ban was later lifted, and the company then offered flights to the EU again.
On January 17, 2011, the airline stopped its flights. She was also the last civil operator of the Ilyushin Il-86 .
aims
The airline operated scheduled flights from Moscow-Vnukowo to various Russian and Eastern European destinations, which are mainly carried out with Embraer-120.
Within Russia, scheduled flights were offered to Ivanovo (sometimes several times a day) and Pskow and, at times, to Anapa and Sochi on the Black Sea coast . The Eastern European destinations included Simferopol (Ukraine), Minsk (Belarus), Liepāja (Latvia). A Boeing 737-300 was used to fly to Brno / Brünn (Czech Republic).
Atlant-Soyuz was also strongly represented in the charter business, with flights to the states of Luxembourg, China, Egypt (e.g. Sharm El Sheikh with Il-86), Jordan, Tunisia, Malta, Italy, France, Turkey, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Slovakia. In the cargo flight sector, destinations in Sudan, Libya, the United Arab Emirates, India, China, South Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan were flown to.

As of December 2009, the airline's fleet consisted of 21 aircraft:
