Red Wings Airlines is an airline based in Vnukovo Airport, Western Administrative Area, Moscow, Russia.[2][3] The airline provided both scheduled passenger and cargo charter services.

The airline ceased operation in February 2013, when its license was subquently revoked because of several safety and maintenance issues. The license has been granted again [4] in June 2013.

History

Red Wings was founded in 1999 under the name VARZ-400, after the Russian acronym of the Vnukovo Avia Repair Factory. It was renamed Airlines 400 in 2001, before adopting its current name in 2007.

Red Wings Airlines Ту́полев Ty-204-100B

The airline was owned by Russian tycoon Alexander Lebedev, who wanted to create a discount airline using modern Russian Ту́полев (Tupolev) Ty 204-100B 210 passenger twin jet airliners, both new-built and used. The company had a fleet of ten Ty-204-100Bs (an eleventh Ty-204 was written off after crashing at Moscow Vnukovo on December 29, 2012), and had also sought to acquire Airbus A320s and possibly Airbus A321s to complement its Ty-204 fleet.[5]

Lebedev also owned 49% of German charter airline Blue Wings, which was to become Red Wings's sister company. However, on January 13, 2010, Blue Wings ceased all operations and filed for bankruptcy, citing the global financial crisis for a pull-out of investors.[6]

After the December, 2012 Red Wings Flight 9268 crash in Vnukovo, Russian aviation authorities initiated an emergency check of airline operational activities and fleet maintenance resulting in the revocation of the carrier's AOC effective on February 4, 2013. The airline had ceased all operations the day before and owner Alexander Lebedev announced that no return to operations' is planned.[7]

April 4, 2013 NRC sold Red Wings Airlines Group "Guta" for a symbolic 1 ruble (in this case are leased aircraft remained with the lessor - NRC-owned company "Ilyushin Finance"). The new owners of Red Wings plan to increase the fleet of 10-15 aircraft. The airline is going to buy only Russian aircraft. April 25, 2013 it was announced that the airline Red Wings headed by Sergey Belov, who was previously CEO of airline "Russia." June 18, 2013 Federal Air Transport Agency has renewed the certificate of the operator Red Wings to perform commercial transportation of passengers and cargo. June 22 airline resumed charter flights, and on July 12, 2013 and scheduled flights from Moscow.

Destinations

In December 2012 Red Wing Airlines announced the first scheduled flight launching. Airline started operations on Moscow (Vnukovo Airport) - Kaliningrad (Khrabrovo Airport) route on June 25, 2012.[8] On July 12, 2013 re-opened regular flights from Moscow to Makhachkala and Kaliningrad. On August 19, 2013 started regular flights to Krasnodar and Simferopol.

Incidents

Ту́полев Ty-204-100В RA-64047, which was lost in the accident in Vnukovo International Airport.
Main article: Red Wings Flight 9268

On December 29, 2012 at 16:35 local time (12:35 GMT), Red Wings Flight 9268, a Ту́полев (Tupolev) Ty-204-100В (RA-64047, c/n 1450743164047, s/n 047, built 2008) crashed on landing after overrunning runway 19 at Moscow Vnukovo International Airport (VKO) following a non-revenue repositioning flight originating from Pardubice Airport, Czech Republic. The aircraft broke up and came to a stop on elevated highway M3 about 400 meters/1,200 feet past the runway’s end. There were eight crew members on board of whom five were killed and the other three seriously injured.[19][20] The fatal Vnukovo accident was the second runway overrun incident involving a Red Wings operated Ty-204-100B in nine days following a Moscow Vnukovo to Novosibirsk flight on December 20, 2012 that overran runway 25 at Tolmachevo Airport by 1,150 feet (350 meters) into an open field.[21] Initial flight data recorder readouts indicate that brake failure as well as engine thrust reverser issues were major contributing causes in both overruns resulting in the issuance of additional airworthiness directives.[22][23][24][25] Russia’s Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) later determined that, as in the precursor non-fatal overrun incident in Novosibirsk, the fatal Moscow accident was caused by a failure of the compression switches in two of the three landing gear assemblies to close on touchdown thus causing the engine thrust reverser shells to fail to deploy.[26]
