Air Volga

LCC Air Volga (Russian: ООО «Авиакомпания Во́лга») was an airline headquartered in Volgograd, Russia, operating scheduled passenger flights and holiday charters from its base at Volgograd International Airport.

[1] When Aeroflot was dissolved in 1992,[2] its Volgograd-based division became an independent company known as Volga Airlines,[1] having inherited a number of Soviet aircraft.

After the initial two 50-seat Bombardier aircraft joined the fleet, another four arrived in November of that year.

[citation needed] On 1 April 2010, Air Volga declared bankruptcy, and all flight operations were stopped.

[citation needed] The Air Volga name thus survived, currently being used for the marketing of regional RusLine flights.
