Azur Air Ukraine, until October 2015 UTair-Ukraine,[2] (Ukrainian: ЮТейр-Україна, Russian: ЮТэйр-Украина) is an Ukrainian airline based at Boryspil International Airport. It used to be a subsidiary of Russian UTair Aviation. In October 2015, it has been announced that tour operator Anex Tours would acquire UTair-Ukraine from UTair Aviation.[2]
History
Founded in 2008, UTair-Ukraine was set up as the Ukrainian division of Russian parent company, UTair Aviation, to serve domestic and international destinations.
In October 2015, it has been announced that tour operator Anex Tours would acquire UTair-Ukraine from UTair Aviation with the aim to rebrand it to Azur Air Ukraine as a leisure charter carrier. UTair Ukraine already shifted its focus from domestic services to leisure operations earlier and therefore phased out several planes.[3][4] The sale and rebranding was confirmed shortly after.[2] A few weeks later, Anex also bought the Russian Azur Air which the "new" Ukrainian Azur Air is now a sister company of.[2]
