history

UTair Express was founded in 1996 as Komiinteravia . In 2004 UTair took over 70% of the company, later completely. In 2006 plans were announced to set up a new regional airline based on Komiinteravia. The fleet should be converted from Antonov An-24 to ATR 42-300 . Due to the Russian economic crisis , the Utair group got into financial difficulties. At the end of 2014, for example, Utair Express's route network was severely restricted. The high-deficit connections within the Komi Republic were cut off , and later also flights from Naryan-Mar to Arkhangelsk , Kirov and Syktyvkar . In March 2015, flight operations were completely stopped. On July 16, 2015, UTair Express's license was revoked by the Russian Aviation Agency at its own request . The aircraft were returned to the parent company, where they were partially decommissioned or continued to be operated by Utair. The company continues to pursue individual business areas, such as the management of the airport in the Waradej settlement ( Nenets Autonomous Okrug ) as well as the supply of on- board catering and the handling of aircraft at Syktywkar Airport, even after flight operations have ceased.

Destinations

In addition to many domestic destinations, UTair Express also flew to Lithuania .
