IrAero

I-Fly emphasizes its commitment to safety and reliability as one of its main priorities. The airline states that it complies with international flight safety standards and continuously works to improve its service quality.

• Recent safety record and any notable incidents: Publicly reported incidents for I-Fly (under ICAO: RSY) include a dead stowaway found in an aircraft in June 2013 after several flights, a bird strike incident involving a Boeing 757-200 in July 2015, and a rejected takeoff by a Boeing 757-200 in September 2012. These incidents are operational occurrences and are not reported as fatal accidents.
• Regulatory certifications: A significant regulatory status is that I-Fly is currently banned from flying in European Union airspace. This indicates a serious concern regarding their compliance with EU safety standards. There is no available information about IOSA certification or FAA compliance for I-Fly.
• Fleet age and maintenance reputation: I-Fly states that the safety and reliability of its fleet are key lines of development, and its current aircraft (Airbus A330-200/300 and A319-100) are described as optimal for comfortable medium and long-haul flights. No specific average fleet age data was immediately available. The airline emphasizes putting forward increased demands on its employees and partners to ensure high standards of provided services, both in the air and on the ground, which implicitly includes maintenance.
• Overall safety assessment: While I-Fly itself highlights its adherence to international safety standards and has received the national aviation award "Wings of Russia" twice, its current ban from EU airspace is a critical safety red flag that indicates that it does not meet European safety operational standards.
• Any safety awards or recognitions: I-Fly has twice won the national aviation award "Wings of Russia".
