Rossiya Airlines

Rossiya Airlines (IATA: FV) is one of Russia's oldest and largest carriers, founded in 1934 as Pulkovo Aviation Enterprise and rebranded in its modern form in 1992. As a key subsidiary of the Aeroflot Group, it serves as the primary operator at Pulkovo Airport (LED) in Saint Petersburg while maintaining hubs in Moscow-Sheremetyevo (SVO), Krasnoyarsk, and Sochi. The airline operates an extensive network of over 120 destinations, emphasizing domestic connectivity across Russia's vast territory—including vital routes to the Far East—alongside select international services. With a diverse fleet of approximately 129 aircraft dominated by the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (the world's largest operator) and including Boeing 777s, 747s, and Airbus narrowbodies, Rossiya balances regional efficiency with long-haul capabilities. Known for special liveries celebrating Russian culture, sports, and wildlife conservation, it participates in the Aeroflot Bonus loyalty program. Despite EU flight bans and sanctions impacting Western aircraft operations, Rossiya remains a leader in Russian aviation safety and punctuality, offering full-service experiences with a focus on passenger comfort and operational reliability.
