Aurora ([Аврора, Avrora] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) is a Russian Far East air carrier, subsidiary of Aeroflot. It is named after the Russian cruiser Aurora.[2] As of August 2016[update], the carrier ranks among the top ten Russian biggest airlines in terms of carried passengers.[1] Its head office is in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Sakhalin.[3]
History
Aurora was created by order of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.[2] Aurora was named Taiga Airline for a short period of time.[4] Aeroflot formed the carrier by amalgamating SAT Airlines and Vladivostok Avia, which served 42 and 15 destinations respectively, and had a combined fleet of 24 aircraft plus 11 helicopters.[2] These two carriers were expected to cease operations in early 2014.[5] The number of routes served was planned to grow from 30 to 128,[6] including the main cities of the Russian Far East, such as Khabarovsk, Magadan, Vladivostok and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.[5]
Aurora is 51%-owned by Aeroflot, with the regional government of Sakhalin holding the balance.[2][7] An initial investment of RUB 430 million (USD 13.5 million) was provided by the parent company through a loan that should be repaid in 2017.[8] The airline carried 1,125 million passengers in 2015, a 7.1% increase year-on-year (YOY).[9] During the first half of 2016 Aurora carried 607,040 passengers, a 19.9% increase YOY.[1]
Destinations
Aurora started operations on 8 December 2013Khabarovsk–Krasnoyarsk route.[10] As of April 2015[update], Aurora flies internationally from its three bases located in Khabarovsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Vladivostok. The international network includes Beijing, Busan, Harbin, Hong Kong, Sapporo, Seoul, and Tokyo.[11]
