History

The airline was established in 1999 in Irkutsk, Russia.

IrAero carries out international flights from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, China to Russia(2023). This company somehow raises money by the Visa and MasterCard systems for its flights. This directly contradicts the principle of the economic sanctions against Russian corruption authority.[5]
