Moscow Airways was a Russian airline that was formed as a subsidiary of Aeroflot to operate the airline's fleet of Ilyushin Il-62s.[1]

History

It began operating in 1991, flying passengers and airfreight.[2] Among the airline's destinations by 1993 were Sharjah (United Arab Emirates)[2][3] and Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), from where Moscow Airways ferried home South African Muslims returning from pilgrimage.[4]

Moscow Airways operated, from 1993 to 1996, an Ilyushin Il-76TD (tail number RA-76498) that was built in 1982,[5][6][7] and also flew a Tupolev Tu-154M (RA-85681) that carried passengers on charter flights from Sheremetyevo International Airport;[7][8] both aircraft previously belonged to Aeroflot.[7] In 1993, the airline ordered fifty Beriev Be-32Ps.[9][10]

The airline ceased operations in 1996 after the fatal accident in Africa which killed approximately 300 people.
