Parent company UTair Aviation reorganised Komiinteravia into a new airline UTair Express, which received a certificate in commercial air transport operations on Antonov An-24 aircraft in December 2006.[3]
History
The airline was established in March 1996 and started operations in July 1997.[2] In 2004 UTair gained control of more than 70% shares of Komiinteravia (carried 200,000 passengers in 2003).[4]
UTair is planning to set up a new regional division using its subsidiary Komiinteravia that will operate as UTair Express using Antonov An-24 and ATR 42-300 aircraft. It is planning to replace its Komiinteravia's Antonov An-24 fleet with additional ATR 42-300s over the next few years.[5]
The airline's IATA code has since been adopted by Jet4You.
