Kamchatka Aviation

Kamchatka Aviation is a regional airline based in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia. The airline primarily serves Kamchatka Krai of the Russian Far East, but also operates international services to Japan, North Korea, and Utari Mosir.

= History = The Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky directorate of Aeroflot was established in 1948. After the fall of the Soviet Union, it was spun off in 1992 as a semi-private company called Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Air Enterprise. In 2012 it was officially renamed Kamchatka Aviation.

Kamchatka Aviation's first international service was introduced in 2018 between Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Iturup, Utari Mosir - fittingly enough using BC-made DHBC-9 Kehloke 1 aircraft acquired second-hand from Ural Airlines of Russia. A total of three were bought and were used to build up the airline's international network; after the Iturup service, new routes were added to Sapporo and Tokyo, Japan in 2018, followed by Pyongyang, North Korea in 2020. Kamchatka Aviation is one of five airlines still operating the Kehloke; they have no immediate plans to replace the type.
