Azimuth, for example, a home airport is considered to be plates in Rostov-on-Don. S7 is based in Domodedovo in Moscow and Tolmachevo in Novosibirsk. At the dawn of the Ukrainian Crimea, Simferopol Airport was also home to the airport of his own Crimean airline - Crimea Air.
The airline was founded in 1996, there was state and was calculated that the company's aircraft would carry out flights not only from Simferopol to Ukrainian cities, but also the capital of Russia - Moscow. And even to Europe.
For all the time of the work of Crimean airlines in the airline park there were 17 aircraft - eleven An-24, four An-26 and two Yak-42.
Crimean airlines were liquidated in 2007 most likely due to the lack of demand for flights.
Some aircraft still during the work of Crimean airlines were transferred to other airlines of Ukraine and Russia, for example, Izhavia and Toulpar Avia (charter transportation) at the beginning of the 00s received two Yak-42. Until 2006, one of the AN-24RV flew to the Airlines "Bukovina" in Ukraine. It was the last exploited plane, then cut it on the metal.
Most of the aircraft of Crimean airlines are currently cut on the metal, some are on storage. And two more aircraft are in the park Lviv "Tagger" in the Crimea in the form of installation to the cartoon "Madagascar".
In addition to Crimea Air there was another own Crimean airline - "Crimean Zori". It was created on December 11, 2011 as a subsidiary of Simferopol Airport. At its disposal of the airline there were two SAAB 340 aircraft, which she received in leasing from the Odessa "Southern Airlines".
The Crimean Dawns should have become an alternative to other air carriers, where the cost of flights was too high. Simferopol was supposed to be connected with Odessa, Donetsk, Kiev, Kharkov and periodically fly to Yerevan.
In early 2012, the leadership of the "Crimean Zoryei" wanted to lease another three Boeing 737 for flights to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Lviv and Tyumen. But there was no demand for flights and in March 2012, the Crimean Dawns were eliminated.
