History


Aurora was created by government order of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.[3] Aurora was named Taiga Airline for a short period of time before being named after the historic Russian cruiser Aurora.[4][3] 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.[3] 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]

The carrier's first aircraft was an Airbus A319, wearing a new livery.[5] In December 2015 (2015-12), the airline received the first of three Bombardier Q400 aircraft it had on order.[7]

Aurora is 51%-owned by Aeroflot, with the regional government of Sakhalin Oblast holding the balance.[3][8] 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.[9] The airline carried 1,125 million passengers in 2015, a 7.1% increase year-on-year (YOY).[10] During the first half of 2016 Aurora carried 607,040 passengers, a 19.9% increase YOY.[2]
