Skyline Express Airlines (Ukrainian: Авіакомпанія скайлайн експрес), formerly known as Azur Air Ukraine (2015-2023) and earlier UTair-Ukraine (2008-2015), is a Ukrainian charter airline. The airline was founded in 2008 as a subsidiary of the Russian airline UTair Aviation. In October 2015, the airline was sold to the Turkish based Anex Tourism Group.[2] In 2022, the airline was once again rebranded to its current name.[3]
History
UTair-Ukraine (2008–2015)
Founded in 2008, UTair-Ukraine was set up as the Ukrainian subsidiary of Russian parent company, UTair Aviation, to serve domestic and international destinations.
Azur Air Ukraine (2015–2022)
UTair-Ukraine already shifted its focus from domestic services to leisure operations earlier and therefore phased out several planes.[4][5] The sale and rebranding was confirmed shortly after.[2]
Skyline Express Airlines (since 2023)
In 2023, the airline was once again rebranded to its current name.
