History
[edit | edit source]The airline was established and started operations in 1942 as an Aeroflot agency under the name Moscow Aviation Enterprise. The original function of the airline was to deliver spare parts for aircraft.
In 1962 the airline had started operations of heavy freighters, and by the 1980 had a fleet of 29 covering the entire Soviet Union and changing its name to Transport Aviation. In 1990, the company was created as the first independent airline in the Soviet Union and at the same time changing its name to Aviatrans. It became a private public limited liability company in 1993. In January 1997 the name ATRAN began being used.[2]
In September 2023 Atran restarted operations after acquiring two An-12 freighters.[3]
