Khors Air (Ukrainian: Авіакомпанія Хорс) is an airline based in Kyiv, Ukraine. It operates mainly charter flights within Ukraine, and also offers flights to Europe and the Middle East from Kyiv International Airport.[1]
History
The airline was founded and bagan 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. 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.[citation needed]
In 2005, a Kyiv to Dubai, Male and Jakarta service was started using a Boeing 757-200ER aircraft but soon had to be halted.[2]
In 2017, the United States proposed sanctions against Khors Air due to them leasing out aircraft to airlines in Iran.[3]
