Red Wings (WZ, Moscow Vnukovo International (VKO)) has announced that it will suspend all operations from the evening of February 3 as Russia civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia has suspended its operating license. Rosaviatsia has said that it would have suspended Red Wings' license following an investigation into the crash of a Red Wings Tu-204-100 at Moscow Vnukovo International (VKO) on December 29, 2012. According to the authority, the investigation would have revealed financial difficulties at the carrier that would impact the safety of flight operations. Red Wings owner Alexander Lebedev has meanwhile said that the license suspension was "without a reason" suggesting it would be part of a political campaign against him. He said he had no intention to resume operations with Red Wings' fleet of eight Tu-204-100s in the future. The carrier has operated domestic scheduled flights as well as leisure charter services to destinations abroad on behalf of Russian tour operators. Red Wings has arranged tickets with competitors Aeroflot (SU, Moscow Sheremetyevo International (SVO)) and VIM Airlines (NN, Moscow Domodedovo International (DME)) for its passengers booked on future domestic flights.

VIM Airlines (NN, Moscow Domodedovo International (DME)) has been cleared by Russian authorities to resume operations to the European Union after having been temporarily banned by civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia following unsatisfactory safety assessment results at an EU airport last November. It currently operates several weekly B757-200 services from Moscow Domodedovo International (DME) to Barcelona El Prat International (BCN), Tenerife Sur (TFS) and Thessaloniki Makedonia (SKG).

It has transferred some of its flights to Barcelona, Basle/Mulhouse, Rimini, Tenerife Sur and Thessaloniki to the B757-200 operated by subsidiary Air Bashkortostan (ZU/Ufa). VIM has meanwhile launched weekdaily B757-200 service from Krasnodar to St. Petersburg on November 7.
