Aeroflot subsidiary Aurora Airline reports traffic up 7.1%

Aeroflot subsidiary Aurora Airline—which serves Russia’s Far East—carried 1.125 million passengers in 2015, up 7.1% year-over-year (YOY).

Aurora’s total number of flights increased 21% to 15,441. Domestic operations reached 11,824, up 19% YOY. International services were up 27% to 3,617.

The Russian Far East carrier attributed the growth to fleet expansion. In 2015, it took delivery of two Airbus A319s and one Bombardier Q400.

Aurora’s fleet consists of more than 20 aircraft, including nine A319s, three Boeing 737s, as well as Q400s, DHC-8s and DHC-6 Twin Otters.

The airline launched nine new regional destinations in 2015, some that have been abandoned for more than 20 years.

In 2015, Aurora achieved IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification following an assessment of its operational management and control systems.
