Crucial moment
Looking back at the history of the company, one can see that the year 2013 became the key in the development of Kostroma Aviation Enterprise. It was then that the plane first flew from Kostroma in the direction of St. Petersburg. Flight service began on January 25, 2013, and continues to this day.
Flights are regular, twice a week. Until the opening of the direction, a similar direct air route did not exist. Passengers are provided with the AN-26-100 aircraft, designed for 45 people.
