About Krasair

KrasAir was a Russian international scheduled service airline based in Krasnoyarsk and part of the AirUnion alliance.

KrasAir was the leader of the Russian AirUnion alliance of airlines, which includes Domodedovo Airlines, Samara Airlines, Omskavia, and Sibaviatrans, and had acquired Malev of Hungary. In its own right KrasAir had a large network of Russian domestic services as well as serving many international destinations. Within Russia destinations served included Barnaul, Baykit, Blagoveshchensk, Bratsk, Chita, Igarka, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Khabarovsk, Komsomolsk-na-Amure, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, Mineralnye Vody, Moscow (Domodedovo), Novosibirsk, Norilsk, Omsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Podkamennaya Tunguska, Rostov-on-Don, Samara, Severo-Yeniseysk, Sochi, St. Petersburg, Tomsk, Tura, Turukhansk, Ulan-Ude, Vladivostok, Yakutsk, Yekaterinburg and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Internationally the following cities were served: Almaty, Bishkek, Dushanbe, Khujand, Tashkent, Beijing, Yerevan, Baku, Vienna, Frankfurt, Hanover, Stuttgart, Athens, Podgorica and Lisbon.

KrasAir was a very dynamic and ambitious Russian airline run by the two Abramovich Brothers (no relation to the one who owns Chelsea Football Club in London). Their acquisition of Malev pointed to more international developments in the future. Much of the expansion was funded by the EBRD (European Bank of Reconstruction and Development) and from a passenger perspective their aggressive pricing made them worth considering - even on indirect routings across Russia.

The airline suffered a liquidity crisis, resulting in operational shutdowns and strikes. Eventually, the company was forced to cease their operations in October 2008.
