Red Wings Airlines won the 10th RUSky Awards in the category "For the Development of Tourism and Partnership Programs by the End of 2025."
In 2025, Red Wings maintained flights to popular destinations and expanded its flight geography. Passengers now have access to flights from nine Russian regions to 11 countries, including the UAE, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Israel.
Charter tourist flights accounted for a significant portion of air travel in 2025. More than 35% of the total volume of flights went to popular holiday destinations such as Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, and Sri Lanka.
At the same time, Red Wings continued to develop its domestic route network, improving regional accessibility for millions of Russians. The airline's hub at Koltsovo Airport increased passenger traffic by 15% year-on-year, reaching 800,000 passengers. Domestic traffic grew by 16%, international traffic by 11%, and the number of transfer passengers increased by 2.5 times.
Over the course of the year, new routes were opened connecting Yekaterinburg with the capitals of four Russian republics – Ulan-Ude, Elista, Saransk, and Abakan – as well as with the hero city of Murmansk, the Arctic city of Norilsk, and the resort town of Gelendzhik.
Red Wings is an annual recipient of industry and national aviation awards. In 2024, the airline won the RUSky Awards in the category "For the Development of New and Promising Routes." As part of its route network expansion, regional flights to Tbilisi and Batumi from six Russian regions were launched.
The RUSky Awards were established by the Aviaru.Net portal and the Federal Air Transport Agency in strategic partnership with NAIS. Each year, the awards recognize the best Russian and foreign airlines operating in the Russian market, based on votes from passengers and industry experts.
