Aurora ( Russian: Аврора) is a Russian airline headquartered in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Sakhalin Oblast. [2] It operates domestic and international flights in the Russian Far East region. It is named after Russian cruiser Aurora. [3] [4]
Aurora was created by government order of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. [4] In September 2013, Aurora (originally called Taiga) was created, combining Vladivostok Air and SAT Airlines. [5] [6] SAT Airlines and Vladivostok Avia served 42 and 15 destinations respectively, and had a combined fleet of 24 aircraft plus 11 helicopters. [4]
Aurora started operations on 8 December 2013 serving the Khabarovsk – Krasnoyarsk-Yemelyanovo route. [7] [8] [9] [10] The carrier's first aircraft was an Airbus A319, with a new aircraft livery. [11] In December 2015, the airline received the first of three Bombardier Q400 aircraft it had on order. [12]
Aurora was 51%-owned by Aeroflot, with the regional government of Sakhalin Oblast holding the balance. [4] [13] An initial investment of RUB 430 million was provided by Aeroflot through a loan. [14] In December 2020, Aeroflot sold its 51% stake in Aurora to Sakhalin Region Development Corporation for ₽1. [15] [16] In 2022, Aurora was merged with five Russian regional airlines ( Khabarovsk Airlines, Chukotavia, Kamchatka Air Enterprise, Yakutia Airlines, Polar Airlines) to create a single far-eastern airline for Russia. [17]
As of October 2016 [update], Konstantin Sukhorebrik was the CEO. [18]
The airline serves two countries on 41 routes. [1] [19]
As of April 2024 [update], Aurora flies internationally from its three bases located in Khabarovsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Vladivostok. The international network includes Beijing-Daxing, [20] Harbin. [21]
