Red Wings Airlines, established in 1999, is a Russian airline based in Moscow. It operates scheduled and charter flights in Russia and abroad. The fleet comprises eight Tu-204. One of them crashed in December 2012 near Moscow. After this event the russian authorities suspended Red Wing’s Air Operators Certificate (AOC) but renewed it several months later. In August 2014 Red wings received an additional Tu-204 by ministry of Industry and Trade. The airline uses this plane for flights to Crimea after Dobrolet was forcedto suspend operations due to sanctions imposed by the European Union.
