The first Boeing airplane was added to the fleet in 2006.[1] In 2007, the company was owned by private investors (75%) and the City of Moscow (25%) and had 726 employees.[2] Initial plans for a joint-venture with US-based cargo airline Evergreen International Airlines where brought forth in 2007, but never materialized.[3]
On 17 September 2010, the airline was rebranded as Moscow Airlines. Following this step, all Ilyushin Il-76 cargo aircraft were removed from the fleet, marking the end of dedicated cargo flights.[4]
