History

Kogalymavia started operations in May 1993. After 2005, the airline operated mostly international charter services to leisure destinations, under the brand name Kolavia.

In May 2012, Kogalymavia changed its marketing branding from Kolavia to Metrojet,[6][7] as part of its newly-established joint venture with TUI Russia & CIS, a subsidiary of the German tourism company TUI Travel.[8] Up until August 2014, when the joint-venture was terminated,[8] Metrojet operated on behalf of TUI,[9][10] and flew independently from then on.

In 2011, one of its planes caught fire, resulting in 3 fatalities and 32 additional injured. On 5 December 2015, shortly after the terrorist attack on flight 9268, Metrojet suspended all remaining operations after a significant decrease in passenger numbers and doubts about the security situation at its primary leisure destinations in Egypt. It announced a review of all operations and said it might resume services in summer 2016.[5] However, it filed for bankruptcy in March 2016.[11]
