Airline Activities
Since 2007, the airline began to actively engage in both scheduled and charter flights. For regular flight delays, the Federal Air Transport Agency decided to limit the airline in flights by 25%.
From 2010 to 2011, Vim Avia began to actively develop domestic passenger transportation. Flights to large cities of Russia (Yekaterinburg, Khabarovsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Chita, Krasnodar and others) increased up to two times a day. So many new scheduled flights were opened, and the volume of traffic increased significantly.
In 2016, the airline continued to operate charter and scheduled flights both on domestic and international routes. Due to the increase in flight delays, Wim Avia had to replenish its air fleet with newer aircraft.
In 2017, the first information about the problems in the airline appeared: the delay in a large number of flights was associated with large debts for fuel materials. Refueling was discontinued due to lack of resources to continue operations. There was also the threat of arrest over the sides for a large debt for leasing aircraft.
