History
Domodedovo United Air Detachment (Russian: Домодедовского объединенного авиаотряда Domodedovskogo Obyedinennogo Aviaotryada), a division of Aeroflot Soviet Airlines, was established in March 1964 , when Flight Units 206, 211 and 202 were transferred to Domodedovo Airport from Vnukovo Airport. The division was set up to operate long-haul services within the USSR, particularly to the Russian Far East and the Central Asian republics. All flights of the airline were operated as part of Aeroflot services.
On 25 March 1964 the airline operated its first revenue service with a Tupolev Tu-114 on a flight from Domodedovo Airport to Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East. In 1978 , with an Ilyushin Il-62, the airline started non-stop operations on the longest domestic service in the world, Moscow to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a distance of some 6,800 km. In 1979 the airline was renamed to Domodedovo Civil Aviation Production Association (Domodedovo CAPA) (Russian: Домодедовское производственное объединение гражданской авиации (ДПО ГА) Domodedovskoe Proizvodstvennoye Obyedineniye Grazhdanskoy (DPO GA)).
Domodedovo CAPA was officially separated from Aeroflot on 20 January 1993, when it was awarded with operator licence №4 by the State Civil Aviation Service. In January 1998 , as a result of the restructuring of Domodedovo CAPA in which the airport and airline were separated, Domodedovo Airlines was established as Domodedovo Airlines, JSC. Its fleet then included Ilyushin Il-18 turboprop and Ilyushin Il-62 turbojet airliners.
It was partially privatised in 2001 , with the Ministry of Property retaining a controlling stake[2]. In October 2004 KrasAir and Domodedovo set up a joint management company, Air Bridge. While retaining separate legal identities the airlines planned to integrate their networks and services, which were largely complementary. The alliance was renamed AiRUnion in 2005 . Domodedovo Airlines was owned by State holding (50.4 per cent) and ATON (49.6 per cent) and had 1,489 employees at March 2007.[2]
It had suspended operations at the end of September 2008 due to the AiRUnion collapse.
