IrAero
Russian airline
IrAero is an airline based in Irkutsk, Russia.[4] It operates domestic and international scheduled passenger services, charter and cargo flights. Its main base is in Irkutsk Airport.
The airline was established in 1999 in Irkutsk, Russia.
IrAero carries out international flights from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, China, Vietnam, Manila to Russia(2024). This company somehow raises money by the Visa and MasterCard systems for its flights. This directly contradicts the principle of the economic sanctions against Russian corruption authority.[5]
IrAero operates a dense network of metropolitan and rural domestic destinations within Russia and also serves a few routes to neighboring countries.[1]
