History

The airline was established and started operations in 1997.[3] Its name is the acronym of Special Cargo Air Transport.[4]

SCAT founded Sunday Airlines as a new charter venture and subsidiary, for which SCAT operates four Boeing 757-200s and one Boeing 767-300ER.[5]

In November 2017, the airline signed a firm contract for the purchase of six aircraft of the latest generation Boeing 737 MAX 8 with the American corporation Boeing. On 29 March 2018, the company's fleet replenished the first in the post-Soviet countries Boeing 737 MAX 8 (with CFM International LEAP-1B engines). This is the first of the six purchased Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.[6]

In 2018, European airspace restrictions were lifted for SCAT Airlines ^{[citation needed]} and in May 2018, Vilnius became their first scheduled EU destination.[7][8] In March 2018, SCAT Airlines was accepted as a full member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). SCAT Airlines became the second Kazakhstan airline included in the IATA register.[9]

On March 13, 2019, the operation of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft was suspended in Kazakhstan.

On February 18, 2021, SCAT Airlines, the first outside the American continent, resumed regular commercial flights on Boeing 737 MAX after an almost two-year ban on the operation of these aircraft in Kazakhstan.[10][11][12]
