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.

Azur Air Ukraine (2015–2022)

UTair Ukraine already shifted its focus from domestic services to leisure operations earlier and therefore phased out several planes.[3][4] The sale and rebranding was confirmed shortly after.[2]

Skyline Express Airlines (since 2022)

In 2022, the airline was once again rebranded to its current name.
