Fleet
WindRose Airlines (IATA: 7W, ICAO: WRC) is Ukraine's regional airline, established on 28 October 2003 and headquartered in Kyiv. The carrier operates from its primary hub at Boryspil International Airport, with a secondary base at Lviv International Airport, serving regional routes across Eastern Europe and charter operations.
The airline's fleet comprises regional turboprops and narrow-body jets, including Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft for mainline routes, ATR 72 turboprops for shorter sectors, Embraer E-190 and ERJ 145 regional jets, Boeing 737 for larger capacity flights, and a Hawker 800XP for executive charter services. This diverse fleet mix positions WindRose to serve both scheduled and on-demand charter markets.
Passenger flight operations were suspended in February 2022 following geopolitical events. Since then, WindRose has focused on charter operations, notably providing aircraft and crew support to airlines operating in Africa. The airline maintains its operational certifications and infrastructure while adapting its business model to current market conditions.
