Tomsk Avia, LLC (Russian: ООО Авиакомпания «Томск Авиа») was an airline based at Bogashevo Airport in Tomsk, Russia. It operated domestic passenger and cargo services and charters until 2015.

History

The airline was established in 1992 from the Aeroflot Tomsk division (established in 1932[1]) and merged with Kolpashevo Air Enterprise in 1999. Formerly called Tomsk Production Aviation Amalgamation and Tomsk State Aviation Enterprise.

In April 2015, the airline's Air operator's certificate was suspended by Rosaviatsia as a result of the carrier's financial difficulties.[2] Tomsk Avia's AOC was officially canceled in July 2015[3]

The airline's debt had become a concern to Russian aviation authorities. The company's director was charged with 18 criminal offenses including failing to obey the court's orders regarding the debts. In March 2015, court officers seized two airports owned by the carrier, Strezhevoy Airport and Kargasok.[4]

After the suspension, the fleet of Antonov An-24 and Antonov An-26 aircraft was seized and sold.
