UTair Aviation (Russian: ОАО «Авиакомпания «ЮТэйр») (MCX: UTAR) is an airline with its head office at Khanty-Mansiysk Airport in Russia.[3] It operates scheduled domestic and some international passenger services, scheduled helicopter services (e.g. from Surgut) plus extensive charter flights with fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters in support of the oil and gas industry across Western Siberia. UTair is also involved with relief operations for the United Nations. Its main base is at Roshchino International Airport in Tyumen Oblast, Russia located 13 km west of the city of Tyumen.

History

In February 1967, the Aeroflot Tyumen Directorate was set up in order to meet the transport requirements of the fast-growing oil and gas industry undergoing development in Western Siberia. In the wake of the break-up of the Aeroflot organization, Tyumenaviatrans Aviation (TAT) was formed in 1991 to replace the Aeroflot Tyumen Directorate. TAT adopted the name of UTair in early 2003. The airline is owned by Khanty Mansiysk District administration (23%), Surgut City administration (19%), Russian shareholders and companies (33%), the Russian Federation (2%), and private foreign investors (20%).

In October 2010, UTair announced plans to replace its Tupolev Tu-134 fleet with the Sukhoi Superjet 100.[4] In December, UTair officially placed an order for 24 of the jets to enter service in 2013.[5] During 2015 UTair plans to reduce own fleet up to 40% [6] Also in 2010, the airline named a Tu-154 aircraft after Boris Evdokimovich Sherbina, a Tyumen figure.[7]

In November 2014, UTair faced financial difficulties and was unable to make a bond payment.[8] In April 2015, UTair announced it was to severely cut down their fleet by 44 aircraft due to their ongoing financial struggle.[9]
