Yamal Airlines (IATA: YL, ICAO: LLM) is a Russian regional airline established in 1997, headquartered in Salekhard in the Yamal-Nenetsky autonomous region. The carrier operates as the main airline serving remote areas of western Siberia and the Russian Arctic, with a network spanning 17 destinations across its operational territory.
The airline maintains three operational hubs: Domodedovo International Airport in Moscow, Roshchino International Airport in Tyumen (its primary base), and Salekhard Airport. This hub structure enables Yamal Airlines to connect major urban centers with regional and remote communities across one of Russia's most geographically challenging regions.
Yamal Airlines operates a modern mixed fleet of 24 aircraft, including Airbus narrowbodies (A320 and A321), regional turboprops (Bombardier CRJ-200LR), and Russian-built jets (MC-21 and Sukhoi Superjet 100). The airline maintains code-share partnerships with S7 Airlines and UTair, enhancing connectivity. Note that Yamal Airlines is currently banned from EU airspace due to international sanctions.
