Posted 11/11/2011

Rosaviatsia—Russia’s Dept. of Aviation/Ministry of Transport has prohibited VIM Avia (NN), the ninth biggest carrier in Russia, from flying to EU countries.

NN spokeswoman Elena Fedorova confirmed to ATW that the airline received a wire from authorities stating the carrier’s AOC restriction forbids it to fly to Europe with Boeing 757-200s.  But Fedorova said the carrier has not received the official document from Rosaviatsia yet. The Moscow-based carrier’s fleet consists of 11 757-200s.
