[edit] History

The airline was established in 1996 . It is wholly owned by Ural Civil Aviation Works[2]. On November 9th, 2006 services started between Yekaterinburg and Moscow using a newly acquired Boeing 757-200 wet leased from VIM Airlines. More aircraft later joined the fleet and more destination were added.

But in February 2008 all bookings were suddenly suspended with the flights transfered to other airlines. Despite still being an officially registered company, all operations resumed. The employees were laid off and the aircraft returned to the lessors or offered for sale.
