Russian carrier Izhavia has been grounded after failing to address safety concerns, including violations of maintenance procedures and crew scheduling issues. The airline’s air operator’s certificate has been revoked, effective August 1, and its flights will be transferred to partner carriers. Izhavia has a fleet of Boeing 737-800 and Yakovlev Yak-42 aircraft and serves routes to major cities from Izhevsk, the capital of the Udmurt republic.
