I really want to thank you with putting the correct Cyrillic rule, the amount of pseudo Cyrillic (people who use incorrect Cyrillic to spell English words) is baffling

 

 

Edit:

I'd like to ask a question, would I be allowed to do a Chechen based airline, because Chechyna was not recognized as independent therefore almost every country back then considered it apart of the Russian Federation even though it was separatist state?

AS Baltija Baltic Airlines Corporation, operating as Baltija, is the flag carrier airline of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, first established on 20 September 1991 as a consortium of the former Baltic airline divisions of Aeroflot after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Headquartered at Mārupe municipality near Riga, Latvia, Baltija is the largest airline serving the Baltic region with a mostly international network spanning 95 destinations in Europe, Asia, North Africa, and North America from its three hubs at Riga International Airport (Latvia), Tallinn Airport (Estonia), and Vilnius Airport (Lithuania). As a mostly state-owned enterprise, the governments of the three Baltic states each own a 20% stake in Baltija for a combined ownership of 60%; Danish businessman Lars Thuesen owns a 15% stake and various other private investors share the remaining 25% stake in the airline. 


At its inception, Baltija aspired to become one of the leading airlines in Eastern Europe, but various hurdles remained along the way. Like other former Soviet states, capital was in short supply and the airline could not yet afford to buy Western planes to upgrade its fleet; hence, Baltija had to make do with keeping antiquated Soviet planes in service until sufficient funds were made available.

In spite of these hardships, the airline embarked on a slow but steady expansion of its European route network, launching new services to major Western European destinations throughout the 1990s.

Are only babyflots within Russia accepted? Or can this be something that is formed from the remnants of Aeroflot branches in other republics (Armenia, for example)?

AFAIK there's nothing in the rules that mention the entries have to be within modern-day Russia. I simply assumed it could be anywhere within the former Soviet Union (aka Commonwealth of Independent States).

Already answered him :), the answer to his question was no, babyflots from soviet republics are also allowed, but I'd also love to see some Russian ones.

Air Almaty is a Kazakh flag carrier and was founded in March of 1990 as a lack of routes and service from Aeroflot opened up the need for a new airline to serve Kazakhstan. Air Almaty's fleet began with one IL-86, five TU-134, and ten TU-154 aircraft. The airline was largely government owned and eventually went defunct in February 2017. 

 

While the airline was in operation it served many central Asian and European destinations, not venturing too far into eastern or southeastern Asia. At the airline's apex in the year 2000, It had a fleet of 87 aircraft of varying types. The most common aircraft types were the TU-154 and the Airbus A330. The IL-86 and later 96 were also flown but were in limited quantity due to the lack of Air Almaty's long haul routes better served by the newer Airbus aircraft. 

The airline began to decline in 2008 during the global economic recession. Many changes were made in an attempt to gain travelers and the route tree was significantly cut. The changes ended up losing more money than it was bringing in, and the routes were very poorly managed, with some of the most profitable ones, like Amsterdam and Munich, having service ended in favor of more eastern European destinations. The airline finally filed for bankruptcy in December 2016 and flew it's last passenger flight on February 4th 2017.

Belarusian International Lines (Беларускія міжнародныя лініі) was founded by the Belarusian state after it gained independence. It was a reorganization of Aeroflot's Minsk based division, and was nationalized as one of the new president's first acts in late 1994. It wasn't until after the 1995 referendum that changed Belarus's flag that Belarusian International Lines gained any sort of brand identity with the introduction of the БМЛ wordmark and twin bird logo. It would take nearly a decade before all of the fleet was repainted in this livery and the airline truly became БМЛ.

Belarusian International Lines TU-154Ms and IL-86

The IL-86, air-frame EW-054BI, was one of the first in the fleet to receive the new paint scheme. It was the only IL-86 the airline ever operated and it was procured via a trade with one of the other Babyflots and was christened Менск (Minsk). It operated a flagship service from Minsk to New York with stopovers in Shannon and Halifax for about two years before the consistently unprofitable service was terminated. The IL-86 was then used on peak flights to St Petersburg and Moscow.
БМЛ was saved from needing to find someone to sell the aging aircraft to when it the aircraft was lost following a mysterious incident in February 2001. The best explanation, and explanation detailed in the official report, is that the IL-86 lost pressurization during a flight from Minsk to Moscow due to some electrical failure or pilot error, leaving the flight crew and all passengers incapacitated. A lack of radio contact was noted shortly after take off and the plane gained a fighter escort as it crossed the Russian border. The fighter pilot observed and reported that figures in the plane were slumped and appeared unconscious, including in the cockpit. Unable to confirm the plane's fuel load or project a theoretical course and without any signs of life on board, the Russian government ordered the plane shot down before it could endanger a populated area. The incident killed all 238 passengers and crew onboard and sparked a serious international crisis. Russia to this day refuses to pay any recompense or even admit fault, as they say that the people on the plane were already suffocated when it was shot down and the blame is on the Belarusian government for improper maintenance and staff training in its national airline. The population of Belarus rejected this conclusion, and Russia's response to the incident is said to be one of the major contributing factors in Belarus's shift away from Russia and towards the EU. This pivot was so widespread among the populous that Lukashenko was deposed in 2004 in part due to his suggestions that Russia might be right. The Belarussian government that replaced Lukashenko vehemently denies the Russian conclusion, claiming that if the Russians had waited longer, perhaps something might have been done to safe the aircraft and people on board. Since the aircraft was almost totally obliterated by the missile and then the ground, there is no concrete evidence to confirm whether anyone was still alive at the time the plane was shot down, or even trace the origin of the pressurization fault. Either way, БМЛ lost its flagship, no longer operates any wide-body aircraft, and didn't operate any flights over Russian airspace for nearly a decade after the incident.

ICHKERI-AVIA Tupolev Tu 154M

 

Operating between 1991-1994, with one Tupolev Tu-154M and a small fleet of a Yak 40, An-24 and many An-2's was the national airline of the Ichkeria Chechen Republic, it began as soon as Chechnya declared independence, seizing various Aeroflot aircraft, most were not inducted into the airline as they were unserviceable and were used as spare part aircraft. The Tu-154M was hastily repainted in 1992 with Ichkeri-Avia livery and was stored before the start of the Chechen War leading to the destruction of the Tu-154 and many other types.

Due to no one Chechnya's position in the international stage the fleet was not operated on many routes, the Tu-154 spent most its time parked in Grozny only operating charters occasionally, the fleet was not allowed to operated within most Countries due to airworthy concerns. It only flew one schedule route, between Grozny and Tbilisi right before the Georgian Coup in December 1991 to January 1992. By the end the December of 1993, the aircraft was deemed unairworthy by the airline itself and the only Yak 40 was left as the sole jet in the fleet before its destruction in December of 1994. The aircraft never had the Soviet era registration replaced, and few images survives besides this poster from early 1993
