Certification Loss
In 2025, Angara lost both its maintenance certification and training certificate. These are vital requirements to ensure pilot training and aircraft maintenance. Losing both in quick succession highlights the depth of the airline's operational decline.
Shrinking Operations
The airline has been forced to cut routes and scale back services. Russian regulators tightened restrictions, leaving Angara with little more than the shell of an airline. This signals its inability to meet even basic aviation standards.
Passenger Safety Concerns
For travellers, flying Angara has become risky. The issue is not market competition but the airline's inability to uphold basic safety responsibilities. In aviation, where lives depend on oversight, such failures are unacceptable.
Collapse Inevitable
If shutdown occurs, it will be the result of years of neglect rather than regulatory pressure. Instead of safeguarding regional connectivity, Angara's leadership allowed the airline to decline. Its downfall is a reminder that cutting corners in aviation always ends in disaster.
Angara Airlines is based in Irkutsk, Russia. It is named after the Angara River. It was founded in the year 2000 and has a fleet of 21 aircraft.
