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:
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The steps toward the emancipation of women are first intellectual, then industrial, lastly legal and political. Great strides in the first two of these stages already have been made of millions of women who do not yet perceive that it is surely carrying them towards the last.”
—Ellen Battelle Dietrick, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 13, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
“A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
