Fleet

IrAero (IATA: IO, ICAO: IAE) is a Russian airline established in 1999 and based in Irkutsk, the capital of Siberia. The airline operates one of Russia's most extensive networks serving remote and underserved regions, with three major hubs: Irkutsk International Airport (primary), Domodedovo International Airport in Moscow, and Magadan Sokol Airport in the Russian Far East.

The airline's fleet comprises 32 aircraft, including modern jets such as the Airbus A321 and Sukhoi Superjet 100B, alongside regional turboprops like the Bombardier CRJ-200LR and Soviet-era Antonov cargo planes. This diverse fleet allows IrAero to operate scheduled passenger services, charter flights, and cargo operations across varied terrain and airport infrastructure.

IrAero serves approximately 60 destinations across Russia and internationally, including Turkey, Azerbaijan, China, Mongolia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The airline is not part of any global alliance, allowing it to operate independently while focusing on regional connectivity and serving areas with limited air transport options.
