Founded
1934
Headquarters
Saint Petersburg, Russia
Rossiya Airlines, officially known as Rossiya-Russian Airlines, is one of Russia's largest and oldest airlines, tracing its roots to the Soviet era. Originally established as the Pulkovo Air Enterprise, it was reorganized and rebranded as Rossiya and came under the control of Aeroflot Group, becoming a key subsidiary carrier.
The airline operates an extensive domestic network across Russia, as well as international routes to Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. It is headquartered in Saint Petersburg and uses Pulkovo Airport as its primary hub.
Following Western sanctions imposed after 2022, Rossiya, like many Russian carriers, faced significant operational challenges including fleet restrictions and reduced international access. The airline has continued domestic operations and serves as a major carrier within Russia.

The airline operates a fleet primarily consisting of Boeing 737, Boeing 777, Airbus A319, Airbus A320, and Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft.
