Aurora Airlines

Aurora is a Russian regional carrier based in the Far East, headquartered in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, with additional hubs at Vladivostok and Khabarovsk. Operating under IATA code HZ and ICAO code SHU, it concentrates on domestic routes across the Russian Far East, complemented by international service to cities in China such as Harbin, Beijing, and Shanghai. Its fleet pairs narrowbody Boeing 737 jets with De Havilland Dash 8 turboprops on shorter regional legs, alongside smaller aircraft serving remote communities. Aurora belongs to no global airline alliance, so its network reflects its own regional focus rather than partner connections.
