History
VIM Airlines was established and started operations in 2000. At the end of 2004, the company acquired Chitaavia and Aerobratsk, followed by Russian Sky Airlines in 2005. Also in 2004, it shook up the market when its new shareholders bought 12 Boeing 757-200 aircraft, targeting the charter market (the first Russian airline using this aircraft type).

“The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
