History

Katekavia

The airline started operations in 1995 and operates regional flights out of Krasnoyarsk Cheremshanka Airport and Krasnoyarsk-Yemelyanovo Airport.<ref>แม่แบบ:Cite web</ref><ref name="flightglobal1">แม่แบบ:Cite web</ref> The airline also operates charter services to Siberia and Yakutia. It carried around 122,000 passengers in 2009,แม่แบบ:Cn and in 2010 started to acquire larger aircraft, mainly the Tupolev Tu-134. As of 3 April 2014, it had three Tupolev Tu-134s.<ref name="flightglobal1"/>

In April 2014, the airline commenced scheduled flights between larger Krasnoyarsk-Yemelyanovo Airport and further cities in Siberia: Surgut and Tomsk. The airline received international media and social media attention in 2014, when a video emerged of passengers on a scheduled flight from Igarka to Krasnoyarsk disembarking pre-departure to push their plane in temperatures of minus 52 degrees Celsius after its chassis froze.<ref>แม่แบบ:Cite web</ref>

Azur Air

In 2015, Katekavia handed over its fleet to Turukhan Airlines. Katekavia was rebranded as a leisure carrier and renamed Azur Air.<ref>แม่แบบ:Cite web</ref><ref>แม่แบบ:Cite journal</ref>

In February 2018, the Russian aviation authority RosAviatsiya announced that Azur Air faces a suspension of its operational licence by 20 March 2018 if the carrier does not resolve alleged safety violations by then. As this would lead to the shut down of all flight operations, Russian tourism agency RosTourism advised tour operators to not sell tickets on Azur Air for the time being.<ref>ch-aviation.com - Russia's tourism body warns against selling Azur Air tickets 27 February 2018</ref>

On 8 April 2022, the US Department of Commerce restricted flights on aircraft manufactured in the US for Aeroflot, Aviastar, Azur Air, Belavia, Rossiya and Utair. It seems the US wants to reclaim ownership of the intellectual property.<ref name="usbroad"/> On 16 June, the US broadened its restrictions on the six airlines after violations of the sanctions regime were detected. The effect of the restrictions is to ground the US-manufactured part of its fleet.<ref name="usbroad">แม่แบบ:Cite news</ref>

As of July 2022, Azur Air was forced to drastically reduce its international network due to sanctions against Russia as well as the recall of several aircraft by their lessors in accordance with these.<ref>aerotelegraph.com - "Azur Air forced to ground half its fleet" (German) 1 July 2022</ref>
