Practice shows that the airline, whose Rosaviatsia suspended the certificate, will no longer return to flights. However, it is difficult to make any forecasts regarding Flight - it’s a very peculiar company.
In the aviation business community “Polet” few people are indifferent - some admire the non-standard moves in the business that this company makes, others criticize its overly risky decisions, and others are outraged by the company's relations with its creditors. In order not to take sides, we will refrain from any estimates and just recall some key moments in the history of this peculiar airline.
Air Launch
AK Polet is one of the oldest private airlines of Russia that has been preserved so far, it began operations in August 1989, its operating certificate is number 14. Initially, the airline was engaged in the transport of shift workers and cargo to the northern gas fields, in its fleet there were up to one and a half dozens of An-12, An-26, An-30 planes,. Nothing, as they say, portended.

flew from Vnukovo to Yekaterinburg - they took 2000 rubles for 13 kg of luggage while the ticket cost 2600 rubles (bought at Domodedovo 8 hours before departure), while another passenger charged 5000 rubles for carrying the guitar in my hand luggage, he was out of size in shock because she (guitar) was not worth the money
it makes sense to fly if you don’t rush and light
greetings from Ulyanovsk that you all want to the company do not pay salaries since March, not a penny and today is October; that's all business what service is from hunger and disorder to all greetings from hungry and cold Ulyaviv workers zaok flight
I decided to leave my review about the airline "Flight" - it sucks!
Our flight on August 31 was canceled from Belgorod to Domodedovo, for unknown reasons, when they came to sort out a representative office in Belgorod we were informed that the flight was canceled for technical reasons and what in return? They offered to fly from Voronezh, when asked about a hotel or a bus to Voronezh, they answered us at their own expense. What about the carrier delivering passengers ??? Asked to transfer, to another airline, again, buy a ticket at your own expense. We could not even hand over the ticket (since it was bought very far)! In our case, the problem is that our tickets were paid by the organization and how to explain the accounting department, why the flight from Voronezh, when on tickets from Belgorod ???
Why such an airline that absolutely does not care about its customers ?!
Yes and again: we were lucky that we were warned in advance (we later understood this) at the representative office, the girl did not warn her about the cancellation of the flight, she went to check-in - they tell her there — you don’t fly, and she has a connecting flight to Moscow then to London, and again, at his own expense! I truly felt sorry for her. So consider flying or not flying av. “Flight”
A flight that Flight canceled without warning passengers, for example, a flight on July 31 to St. Petersburg. Because of this, I was forced to overpay money with my mother-in-law (about 70,000) in order to catch the necessary connection in St. Petersburg — I had to fly through Moscow.

The stupidest situation! They tried to fly to Belgorod 07/21/14. Two hours before departure, checked in at the front desk reg. in Domodedovo, then about an hour sat opposite the exit. It turned out that the output was changed. Infa. on the scoreboard at the exit did not change, the announcement on the speakerphone, we just did not hear or missed, the woman at the exit said - I called everyone))). No information was also checked on the company's website about the change flight. As a result, they were late for landing for 5 minutes. In general, you yourself are to blame, go to the cashier, we won’t do anything else. There are no seats for all flights on this day at the ticket office, but there are flights to another company but there you need to buy new tickets and another option, wait 5 hours before the end of the next flight check-in, maybe someone will refuse or be late. I express my gratitude to the Domodedov employee at exit 55A and the representative of "Flight" for "PROFESSIONALISM, responsiveness, and customer focus")))
HOPE THAT COMPANIES WITH A BAD ATTITUDE TO PEOPLE AND THEIR OWN BUSINESS WILL BE SIMPLE BROKEN !!!
In mid-May (!!) I purchased a ticket for the flight August 1 from St. Petersburg to Vilnius.
The vacation was planned in advance; the hotel in Vilnius was booked.
On July 6th, the manager of the airline “Flight” called me and said that the flight was canceled. The conversation was approximately as follows:
And in connection with which the flight was canceled?
- Our airline does not operate flights in this direction
- If you do not operate flights in this direction, then why are you selling tickets ??
- We are not recruiting a full salon ... it is not profitable for us
But, probably, it’s profitable to live on a commission from these tickets ?? !! After all, the return of the full cost of the ticket was promised (minus the fee of 499 rubles!). "Lovely!" There are no alternatives - no other day of departure, no flights to a nearby city (even I already agreed to this).
Yes, and figs with him, with this collection. But there are other losses! Booking a hotel, blocking vacation days, shaking the train at the side! (There are no other tickets left!).
In general, the impressions are negative! And what’s still unpleasant - so far on the main page of the "Flight" my flight hangs in the list of REGULAR.
Airline Flight is a domestic air carrier based in Voronezh. Form of airline organization - Closed Joint-Stock Company. The carrier had a large number of passenger and cargo routes. Almost all international flights from Voronezh were operated by this airline.
Airline Flight based in Voronezh
Airline Flight Voronezh was founded in August 1988. It was in that year that the carrier completed its first cargo flight. The full owner of the company was Anatoly Karpov. It was the first private airline in the USSR. By 2002, among the services provided by the enterprise, appeared:
- aerial photography;
- aeromedicine;
- agricultural services.
However in December 2014 year it was announced that the carrier completely ceases its activities. And April 2015 brought a complete revocation of the enterprise certificate.
One of the latest events of the company was the opening of a new weekly route “Voronezh - Paris - Voronezh”. Unfortunately, not everyone was able to enjoy the romantic destination.
Carrier Activities
The Flight company provided good air communication with many Russian cities: Moscow, Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Anapa, Khanty-Mansiysk and many others.
The carrier regularly departed to Antalya, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bYerevan, Munich, Prague, Dalaman and Tivat.
Of course, during its existence, he had both ups and downs. The heyday of the company fell on the period after 2010. In 2011, the passenger traffic amounted to 150% compared to the previous year. In the same year, the company transported its millionth passenger. The freight turnover of the carrier reached 264 743 tons.
Truly “stellar” for the enterprise was the work on the delivery of space equipment to the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
However, in 2014 there was a significant decline in passenger and freight traffic. Flights Flight began to be sold much worse, and cargo transportation came to naught. Of course, all this led to large financial losses and a large number of unpaid debts. The delay in payment of wages to employees, the inability to comply with the rules of operation and maintenance led to revocation of company certificate.
Airline Flight ceased operations in 2014
Company fleet
The company had at its disposal the aircraft Saab 340b, Saab 2000, Hawker Siddeley HS-125 and Hawker 800. The carrier also had aircraft such as AH, IL and BAE. Part of the aircraft was also reserved and was in storage. In general, only 14 out of 18 aircraft were operated.
Incidents
For the entire period of the enterprise’s functioning on the air transportation market, only three incidents were recognized that were dangerous for passengers:
- After the take-off of the Saab-200 aircraft on the route Voronezh - Yerevan, some malfunctions were discovered that led to the aircraft returning immediately to the base airfield immediately after take-off. The incident dates back to 2009.
- In the spring of 2010, the An-24 aircraft cracked glass at an altitude of 4 km. This led to depressurization of the cabin. But the ship was successfully planted. No injuries were found.
- In the summer of 2010, the aircraft model Saab-2000, following the flight Voronezh - Moscow, was forced to make an emergency landing. Passengers of the ship were not injured, the integrity of the aircraft was also preserved.
Few people can answer whether these events affected the fact that tickets for the flight Flight began to be booked and bought much less, or the main reason for this was some other factors. However, even numerous awards and nominations could not save the airline from further closure.
The Russian airline Flight was founded in 1988, its base is located at the airport of Voronezh Chertovitskoe. The flight became the first private airline in Russia. She specializes in international passenger and freight transport. Since 2002, the company has been offering aeromedical and agricultural services, as well as airbrushing. The owner of 100% of the shares is Anatoly Karpov.
Flight fleet consists of 12 aircraft: five SAAB-2000, five SAAB-340B and two An-148-100E. In 2014, passenger turnover on the company's regular flights decreased significantly, and therefore, from November 25, the company's management suspended regular passenger flights.
Charter flights
