Aviastar-TU Airlines
(
Russian
:
Авиастар-ТУ
) is a Russian cargo
charter airline
which operates principally out of
Ramenskoye Airport
in
Moscow
, Russia. Its headquarters is located in
Zhukovsky, Moscow Oblast
.

History
[
edit
]
The airline began operating domestic and international charter flights in 2000. Aviastar-TU, as an aircraft operator, has a historical affiliation with
Aviastar-SP
, an aircraft builder.
After the incident of
Flight 1906
, the
Federal Air Transport Agency
imposed a ban on passenger transport due to the airline's lack of a spare aircraft. In November 2011, after a number of deficiencies were identified by European inspectors, the European Aviation Safety Agency also imposed an additional ban on flights to EU countries, which was lifted at the end of December 2011.
On 8 April 2022, the US Department of Commerce restricted flights on aircraft manufactured in the US for
Aeroflot
,
Aviastar
,
Azur Air
,
Belavia
,
Rossiya
and
Utair
. It seems the US wants to reclaim ownership of the intellectual property.

On 16 June, the US broadened its restrictions on the six airlines after violations of the sanctions regime were detected. The effect of the restrictions is to ground the US-manufactured part of its fleet.

The cause of the accident was attributed to pilot error, with a number of factors contributing to the accident including inadequate crew training and lack of cockpit resource management, failure of autoflight systems and regulatory violations by Aviastar-TU.
