Russia's national carrier connecting key domestic destinations.

Founded
1934
Headquarters
Saint Petersburg, Russia
Rossiya Airlines, officially known as Rossiya-Russian Airlines, is one of Russia's largest carriers and operates as a subsidiary of Aeroflot Group. The airline traces its roots to the Soviet-era Pulkovo Aviation Enterprise, which was based at Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg and served as the civil aviation arm for the Leningrad region. Following a series of mergers and restructurings, Rossiya absorbed several regional Russian carriers including Donavia, Orenair, and Vladivostok Air, significantly expanding its route network and fleet. The airline primarily serves domestic Russian routes alongside a limited number of international destinations. As international sanctions and airspace restrictions were imposed on Russia following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Rossiya, like other Russian carriers, faced significant operational challenges including the loss of access to Western aircraft parts and leasing arrangements. The airline continues to operate primarily within Russia using its existing fleet.
Hubs & network
Rossiya Airlines operates primarily from Pulkovo Airport in Saint Petersburg and Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow.
Fleet
Rossiya operates a fleet consisting largely of Boeing 737s, Boeing 777s, and Airbus A319/A320 family aircraft, with increasing reliance on Russian-built Sukhoi Superjet 100s following Western sanctions.
