Saratov Airlines (until at least 2013 Sarawia ), brand name Ivolga Airlines from 2018 , was a Russian airline based in Saratov and based at Saratov Airport .
history
After the collapse of the Soviet Union , the state airline Aeroflot was reorganized and its regional departments were outsourced as independent companies. The restructuring also affected the Aeroflot division established in Saratov in 1931 , from which the Sarawia - Saratowskie Awialinii airline emerged in 1993. The company, which was initially 51 percent state-owned, initially used the Antonov An-24 and Jakowlew Jak-42 leased from Aeroflot in their livery and also carried out sub-charters for other airlines.
From October 26, 2015, the Russian supervisory authority Rosawiazija Saratov Airlines banned international flights due to the unauthorized presence of third parties in the cockpit .
From April 2018 the company flew under the brand name Ivolga Airlines , but the name of the company remained unchanged. The Russian term иволга (iwolga) stands for the oriole bird .
On May 30, 2018, the airline was given a flight ban .
The owner was looking for a way to set up a successor company under the same name without having to lay off the 1,200 employees.

Saratov Airlines flew from its home airport in Saratov to Saint Petersburg , Moscow-Domodedovo , Krasnoyarsk , Surgut , Sochi , Anapa and Mineralnyje Vody as well as from Simferopol to various Russian destinations. It also flew from Domodedovo to Omsk , Kirow and Orsk and served other connections from Penza , Kaluga , Orenburg , Ufa and Gelendzhik .

From the foundation of the airline to the cessation of flight operations in 2018, there were two aircraft accidents in which a total of 187 deaths and no survivors:
- On November 20, 1993 a Jakowlew Jak-42D ( aircraft registration number RA-42390 ) operated for the Macedonian company Avioimpex had an accident en route from Geneva to Skopje . There were 108 passengers and eight crew members on board the Jak-42D. Due to heavy snowfall in Skopje, the crew evaded to Ohrid . There, on the second attempt to land, the aircraft was flown into a mountain two kilometers from the airport. One passenger initially survived the incident and later died in the hospital, the other occupants died at the scene of the accident (see also Avioimpex flight 110 ) .
- On February 11, 2018, an Antonov An-148 (RA-61704) crashed six minutes after taking off from Moscow-Domodedovo to Orsk just outside the city of Voskressensk . There were 65 passengers and 6 crew members on board. All inmates were killed. The cause was the failure to switch on the heating of the altitude and speed sensors, as a result of which they iced up and incorrect displays appeared in the cockpit (see Saratov Airlines flight 703 ) .
