Perm Airlines

The airline was established and started operations in 1968. It was formed from the Aeroflot Perm Division (Ural RCAD).

Throughout its operational history, Perm Airlines offered routes from Perm Bolshoye Savino airport to Moscow Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo airports, Ekaterinburg, Surgut, Baku, Novosibirsk and St. Petersburg (codeshare flight with St. Petersburg based Pulkovo Airlines). Furthermore, it operated charter flights to Adler/Sochi, Baikonur, Simferopol and Dubai.

As a result of an agreement between Perm Airlines and Siberian Airlines (the current S7 Airlines), all regular Perm Airlines passenger flights were carried out by Sibir Airlines.

The Perm Airlines fleet includes the following aircraft (at May 2008):

1 Antonov An-24
