About Rossiya Airlines
Rossiya Airlines (ICAO: SDM), sometimes branded as Rossiya—Russian Airlines, is one of Russia's oldest and largest air carriers, tracing its roots back to 1932 with the Leningrad Civil Aviation Directorate, later known as Pulkovo Aviation Enterprise. The modern Rossiya Airlines was officially registered in Saint Petersburg in 2006, formed by the merger of the original Rossiya Airlines and Pulkovo Aviation Enterprise. In 2011, it became a part of the Aeroflot Group, further consolidating its presence in the Russian aviation market. In 2016, other Aeroflot subsidiaries, Donavia and Orenair, were also integrated under the Rossiya brand.
The airline operates with primary operational hubs at Pulkovo Airport in Saint Petersburg and Moscow Sheremetyevo International Airport, with additional bases in Krasnoyarsk and Sochi. As of 2025, Rossiya Airlines operates a diverse fleet of approximately 129 to 136 aircraft. This includes Airbus A319/A320, Boeing 737/777, and Russian Sukhoi Superjet 100 models. The airline is notably the largest operator of Russian-made Sukhoi Superjet 100 and wide-body Boeing 747-400 aircraft within the Aeroflot Group.
Rossiya's extensive route network comprises over 120 destinations, primarily focusing on domestic flights across Russia's vast territory. This includes key connections to socially significant and popular cities, particularly in the Far East. While its focus is largely domestic, it also serves select international destinations in the Commonwealth of Independent States and allied nations. As a subsidiary of Aeroflot Group, Rossiya Airlines operates codeshare flights marketed under the Aeroflot designator on certain routes, however, international codeshare partnerships have been curtailed since 2022 due to sanctions. The airline offers Economy Class and Business Class, with some sources also mentioning a "Comfort class." Business Class passengers can expect spacious seating, priority boarding, gourmet dining, and airport lounge access.
