Feb 02, 2017 (newstodate): Grozny Avia, based at Grozny Airport in Grozny, Russia, is facing severe financial problems and is close to losing its AOC.
Already by mid-December 2016, Russia's regulatory body Rosaviation suspended the airline's AOC, granting the airline the obligatory right of winning back the AOC within nine months from date of suspension on the condition of a valid financial reconstruction.
Grozny Avia operates a fleet comprising six Yak-42 aircraft but has plans to take in new aircraft, probably Airbus A319, after failing to reach agreement with Sukhoi for acquisition of Superjet 100 aircraft.
In April 2014, the Russian Federation's new "Republic of Crimea" signed an agreement with Grozny Avia for the carrier to become the first airline to establish Simferopol Airport as a new operational base, with plans to open flights from Simferopol to Belgorod, Kursk, Voronezh, Kazan, Volgograd, Kirov and Grozny, subsidized by the Russian Federation.
Grozhny Avia was granted its AOC in 2008 and launched its first flight on the route to Moscow on June 10, 2008.
