Azur Air ( Russian Азур эйр ) is a Russian charter flight - airline and subsidiary of Turkish Anex Tourism Group .
history
Azur Air was founded as Katekavia in 1995 and renamed Azur Air in 2014. In December 2017, the Russian aviation authority Rosaviatsiya limited the validity of the operator certificate to the period up to March 20 of the following year. A lifting of the restriction presupposes that all deficiencies with regard to the continued airworthiness of aircraft and the organization of flight operations, which were identified during the review in 2017, have been rectified, otherwise the operating license would expire. According to the specialist portal Russian Aviation Insider, the authority is said to have detected seven delays of more than two hours in January alone, which were caused by technical problems with the aircraft. :
