JSC "Donavia" (Russian: ОАО «Донавиа») was an Aeroflot subsidiary^[2] airline based in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.^[3]^[4] Its main bases were Rostov-on-Don Airport and Mineralnye Vody Airport after the Kavminvodyavia bankruptcy.^[1] It was known as Aeroflot-Don (Russian: ОАО «Аэрофлот-Дон») from 2000–2009. In the spring of 2016, its operations and aircraft were merged into sister company Rossiya.

History

The airline was established on 15 June 1925 as a squadron under the Soviet airline Aeroflot. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, it was rebranded as Don Airlines ("Donavia") in 1993. It absorbed the Rostov assets of Aeroflot, and was one of many such "Babyflots" to emerge in the early 1990s. However, the airline was purchased by Aeroflot in 2000 and began to operate as Aeroflot-Don on 13 April 2000. It operated scheduled domestic and international passenger flights as well as passenger and cargo charters, mostly to the Middle East and within Russia. On 25 September 2009, the airline reverted to the Donavia brand name and the airline adopted Airbus A319-151 and operated for ten years until operations were folded into Rossiya Airlines in 2016.

Donavia served the following destinations before its merger with Rossiya:
