History
The airline was established in 1992 from the former Aeroflot Volgograd Division. Originally it was known as Volga Airlines, which was later changed to Volga-Aviaexpress (Russian: ООО «Волга Авиа-экспресс»), before once again adopting a new name, Air Volga. On 1 April, 2010, Air Volga declared bankruptcy. Its fleet of four Bombardier CRJ200 (seating 50 passengers) and most routes (including the Volgograd base) were taken over by RusLine.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“Culture, the acquainting ourselves with the best that has been known and said in the world, and thus with the history of the human spirit.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
