Far Eastern Russia's regional carrier connecting remote communities.
Founded
1992
Headquarters
Khabarovsk, Russia
Dalavia, formally known as Dalavia Far East Airways, was a Russian regional airline headquartered in Khabarovsk. It served the Russian Far East, operating scheduled domestic routes connecting remote and underserved communities across the region.
The airline traced its roots to Soviet-era aviation infrastructure and operated as a successor entity to Aeroflot's Far Eastern division following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It became one of the primary carriers serving Khabarovsk Novy Airport and surrounding regions.
Dalavia ceased operations in September 2008 after the Russian government withdrew its operating license due to financial difficulties and safety concerns. Its collapse left many remote communities in the Russian Far East without reliable air connections.

Fleet
Dalavia operated Soviet-era aircraft including the Tu-154, Tu-214, An-24, and Il-62 variants on its domestic and limited international routes.
