Skol Airlines

Skol Airlines was a Russian charter operator providing regular passenger flights and cargo charters across Eastern and Western Siberia; its clients included Alrosa and Gazprom amongst others. The company also had its own 23 hectare heliport, the 100-room hostel on-site, dining room, Mi-8 hangar, helicopter filling station and a certified aircraft maintenance base. The company was notable for its successful efforts to curtail the 2007 Greek forest fires.

In mid-2021, Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency banned it from operating 30 helicopters and five light-engine L-410s due to debts to GTLK.

As of December 2021, the airline was banned from operating within the European Union.

The airlines' operator certificate was revoked after it went bankrupt in 2022.
