The story

Irtysh-Air started operations on 22 April 2009 with a Pavlodar–Moscow-Domodedovo service.

On May 11, 2010, following the results of a competition for domestic routes held by the Civil Aviation Committee of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Irtysh-Air Airlines received certificates for the following air routes:

Almaty – Pavlodar, Almaty – Karaganda, Almaty – Oskemen, Almaty – Kyzylorda, Almaty – Kostanay

In July 2013 (2013-07), following the Ministry of Transport and Communications revoking the operator's certificate to three airlines, it was informed that Irtysh-Air could also lose its license.

On 18 October 2013, the AOC of Irtysh-Air was suspended for a further unspecified period.

Its certificate expired on 4 April 2014. As of 23 February 2025, Irtysh Air does not exist in the "List of operating airlines and operators of the Republic of Kazakhstan."
