About Airlines

Domestic airline "Center-South" was established in 1991, but it received a license to carry out its activities two years later.

The basic airports were Belgorod and Bolshoye Savino in Perm. The company was engaged in the implementation of seasonal flights on European Russia and neighboring countries.

Also, passengers were offered Vip services, private and corporate flights. For more than 20 years, the company has been working in the field of business aviation. And a private flight could be arranged at least three hours before the planned time of departure. Demand for Vip-transportation was quite high, so "Center-South" reacted as quickly as possible to requests for organizing flights. Such a policy acted in connection with the great competition in this industry. The preparatory period for aircraft was reduced to a minimum.

Onboard passengers were offered two classes of service, like most Russian carriers: economic and business. The airline "Center-South" was once the official carrier of the volleyball team "Lokomotiv-Belogorye".

For a 24-year period of activity, not a single incident occurred. October 1 last year, the company temporarily suspended its work. Such a decision was made by Rosaviation on the basis of the results of the inspections. A number of serious violations were identified, which led to the cancellation of the license on October 23.
