Skyline Express Airlines (Ukrainian: Авіакомпанія скайлайн експрес), formerly known as Azur Air Ukraine (2015-2023) and earlier UTair-Ukraine (2008-2015), is a Ukrainian charter airline. The airline was founded in 2008 as a subsidiary of the Russian airline UTair Aviation. In October 2015, the airline was sold to the Turkish based Anex Tourism Group. In 2022, the airline was once again rebranded to its current name.

History

UTair-Ukraine (2008–2015)

Founded in 2008, UTair-Ukraine was set up as the Ukrainian subsidiary of Russian parent company, UTair Aviation, to serve domestic and international destinations.

UTair-Ukraine already shifted its focus from domestic services to leisure operations earlier and therefore phased out several planes. The sale and rebranding was confirmed shortly after.

Skyline Express Airlines (since 2023)

In 2023, the airline was once again rebranded to its current name.
