Smartavia Airlines

Smartavia, previously known as Nordavia, is a Russian low-cost carrier specializing in scheduled and charter flights. The brand has its roots in the Arkhangelsk United Aviation Squadron, established in the early 20th century. Over decades, it transitioned through several corporate identities, including Aeroflot-Nord, before rebranding as Smartavia to reflect a modern, digital-first approach to air travel.

The airline primarily operates a fleet consisting of Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft, serving a vast domestic network within Russia as well as international seasonal routes. Currently, the brand is owned and operated by JSC Smartavia, which is controlled by Russian investment firms. The airline remains a significant player in the regional aviation market, focusing on affordability and passenger connectivity across the Russian Federation.
