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.

Red Wings Airlines transported Kara, a female Amur leopard, from Yekaterinburg to Kazakhstan. At the Almaty Zoo, the predator will be able to give birth to cubs to help preserve her species, which is listed in the Russian Red Book.

The airline transported the leopard to Almaty on a Russian SSJ-100 aircraft in a special ventilated container. During the flight, the container was placed in a sealed cargo hold with a temperature control similar to that of the passenger cabin. This ensured a comfortable and safe flight for the predator.

Kara, just nine months old, was born in May 2025 at the Yekaterinburg Zoo and is a rare melanistic form of the Amur leopard. She was sent to the Almaty Zoo as part of an interzoo exchange. In turn, the Almaty Zoo brought barn owls and two bears—a Tien Shan brown bear and a Himalayan black bear—to Yekaterinburg, adding to the zoo's exhibits.

The Far Eastern leopard is listed as "critically endangered" by the Russian Federation and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Experts estimate that no more than 50 individuals remain in the wild. Kara's participation in the conservation program at the Almaty Zoo, which will celebrate its 90th anniversary next year, will contribute to the protection of this unique biological heritage.

In 2025, Red Wings Airlines operated 24,000 flights on Russian aircraft and carried over 2 million passengers. The company's services were also used to transport two barn owls, an eagle, a brown bear cub, and a swarm of bees, totaling approximately 2 tons.

The core of the Red Wings fleet consists of Tu-204/214 and SSJ-100 aircraft, manufactured by the United Aircraft Corporation (part of Rostec State Corporation). Red Wings exclusively uses Russian aircraft on scheduled routes. The airline has also operated approximately 1,000 charter flights on long-haul Boeing 777s.

The airline revised its charter program and increased the efficiency of its domestically produced aircraft fleet. As a result, Red Wings' total passenger traffic reached 2.7 million, comparable to 2024 figures.

The average load factor on flights increased by 2%, with the majority of traffic going to international destinations. Red Wings also increased passenger traffic on domestic routes. Last year, the airline's passengers most frequently chose flights to Yekaterinburg, Moscow, and Sochi, while international flights were mostly to Thailand.

In 2025, Red Wings significantly expanded its route network, launching 25 new scheduled destinations: 17 within Russia and 8 internationally. This expanded flight network helps address the strategic objective of increasing connectivity between Russian regions, and allows thousands of passengers to enjoy convenient, direct flights without lengthy and tedious transfers.
