Headquarters
Yakutsk, Russia
Aircompany Yakutia is a regional Russian airline headquartered in Yakutsk, the capital of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), in the Russian Far East. Founded in 2002, it serves as a vital transport link for one of the most sparsely populated and geographically remote regions on Earth, where aviation is often the only practical means of travel.
The airline operates scheduled and charter flights connecting Yakutsk with Moscow and other major Russian cities, as well as numerous remote settlements within the Sakha Republic where roads and railways are largely absent. It plays a critical role in maintaining year-round connectivity in a region known for extreme cold temperatures.
Yakutia operates a mixed fleet that has included Boeing 737s, Bombardier Q300 turboprops, and Antonov aircraft, allowing it to serve both large jet-capable airports and short unpaved airstrips in the republic's isolated communities.
Hubs & network
The airline's primary hub is Yakutsk Airport (IATA: YKS), with additional operations through regional airports across the Sakha Republic.
Fleet
Yakutia operates a mixed fleet including Boeing 737 jets and Bombardier Dash 8 Q300 turboprops for regional and mainline routes.
