history

When Aeroflot was broken up in 1992, from which up to 400 airlines emerged, Yakutavia emerged from the Yakutsk Aeroflot Directorate with various branches of business, such as cargo and government flights, regional and national scheduled and charter flights.

Yakutavia was reorganized in 1995 from the parent company Sakhaavia, in 1996 it was renamed Sakha Avia National Aircompanie . The fleet was divided into several divisions, which were named according to the locations of the Yakutian airfields but kept the colors and titles of the Sakha. In 2002 the government of the Republic of Sakha Avia decided to unite Yakutsk Airlines, which was founded in 1999 . The company has been called since the Yakutia Aircompany .

In 2007, on the recommendation of the European Union, the Russian Federation prohibited flights to the EU until Yakutia had successfully implemented quality management. This has happened in the meantime and the company is allowed to fly to European destinations again.

On January 2, 2015, after landing at Salzburg Airport from Moscow-Wnukovo, a Boeing 757-200 belonging to the company with the aircraft registration number VQ-BMW was seized by a bailiff on behalf of the leasing company GECAS, which owns the aircraft, because of outstanding lease payments On October 24th of the same year the same thing happened with a Boeing 737-800 with the registration number VQ-BOY at Ben Gurion Airport due to outstanding leasing payments from the Dutch company AerCap.

In 2016, Yakutia took over 99 percent of Polar Airlines, which also operate in Yakutia . In the previous year, Polar Airlines completed work flights with 37 aircraft and had also used Antonov An-2 in 2016 , as well as Antonov An-3 , Pilatus Porter , Let L-410 , Antonow An-24 and Antonov An-26 , as well as helicopters from Type Mi-8 . The company's six An-24s were to be replaced by additional DHC-8s in line with an intention from early February 2018.
