Khors Air (Ukrainian: Авіакомпанія Хорс, literally Aircompany Khors) is an airline based in Kiev, Ukraine, operating mainly cargo flights within the CIS, to Europe and the Middle East out of Kiev International Airport.[1]
[edit] History
The airline was founded and started operations in 1990 using Ilyushin Il-76, Yakovlev Yak-40, Antonov An-24 and Antonov An-26 aircraft, since then mainly serving the CIS. In 1992 an Antonov An-12 was purchased which allowed for the launch of passenger flights. In 1996 a Kiev to Dubai and Jakarta service was started using a Boeing 757-200ER aircraft. In 2000 Khors Air replaced its ageing fleet of Soviet aircraft with American-built McDonnell Douglas DC-9-51 aircraft and (from 2004) McDonnell Douglas MD-82.
