Its headquarters are located in the Omega Plaza (Омега Плаза) business centre in Moscow, Russia.[1] It is currently banned from flying in the EU[2]
History
The company was founded in 1999 as Aerotex Airlines and was originally based at Sheremetyevo International Airport.[3] In March 2013, it was renamed to today's RusLine, which coincided with a move to Vnukovo International Airport shortly after.[3]
On 1 April 2010, RusLine acquired the assets and brand name of bankrupt Air Volga. This included six Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft,Script error: No such module "Unsubst". and Air Volga's base at Volgograd International Airport.[3]
Originally, the airline operated several ageing Soviet-built aircraft. The first Western airliner, a 50-seat Bombardier CRJ100, was introduced with RusLine in February 2008. Over the following years, further planes of that type (all of which had been acquired second-hand) were added.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In April 2012, RusLine took delivery of two larger Airbus A319 aircraft formerly owned by easyJet in order to address the growing demand for charter flights.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Accidents and incidents
- On 20 June 2011, 47 people died in the crash of Flight 243. The aircraft involved, a Tupolev Tu-134 (registered RA-65691) had been leased by RusLine from RusAir and was approaching Petrozavodsk Airport, completing a flight from Moscow-Domodedovo. Due to poor visibility conditions, the pilots were unaware that they descended too rapidly, so that the aircraft struck trees and impacted on a highway. There were five survivors.[14][15]
