Globus Airlines[1] (Russian: Авиакомпания «Глобус»|translit=''Aviakompanija «Globus»'') was a Russian airline based at Moscow Domodedovo Airport operating for S7 Airlines.
The airline was founded in the spring of 2008 by S7 Airlines, a major Russian airline, based in Novosibirsk for charter flights. Globus started operations shortly thereafter with a Tupolev Tu-154M, which was previously in use at the parent company. Another Tupolev Tu-154M and the first Boeing 737-400 were transferred from S7 Airlines to Globus later in the first year of operation, followed by second-hand Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Its purpose was to concentrate on flying to holiday destinations.[2] From 2010 Globus has been operating mainly regular domestic services, however still in cooperation with its former owner, S7 Airlines.[1]
In August 2019, the airline's head announced that S7 Airlines and Globus Airlines would merge by December 2019, therefore closing the operations of the second airline.[3] By early December 2019, the merger had been completed.[4]
Globus Airlines operated scheduled and charter flights to domestic and some international destinations on behalf of S7 Airlines.
As of October 2019, prior to the merger into S7 Airlines, the Globus Airlines fleet comprised the following aircraft:[5]
