Astrakhan Airlines was a regional Russian carrier based in Astrakhan, a city in southern Russia near the Caspian Sea. The airline primarily operated domestic routes connecting Astrakhan with other cities across Russia, serving both scheduled and charter passenger services. The airline operated under IATA code OB and ICAO code ASZ, with the radio callsign AIR ASTRAKHAN. It functioned as a smaller regional carrier typical of post-Soviet Russian aviation, relying on Soviet-era and transitional aircraft types to serve its route network. Astrakhan Airlines is no longer in active operation, having ceased services as the regional Russian aviation market consolidated and faced increased competition from larger national carriers. Its history reflects the broader turbulent restructuring of Russian civil aviation following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
