War's impact on Russian civil aviation threatens Azimuth airline with bankruptcy

Russian airline Azimuth is nearing bankruptcy due to economic decline and reduced public income. The airline's net profit fell 30.9% in 2025, with gross losses increasing significantly. This is attributed to the war's impact on the economy, inflation, and reliance on imported aircraft parts. The airline's southern bases face operational instability due to war-related airport closures. State subsidies are currently keeping Azimuth afloat, as commercial operations are insufficient.
