The airline is owned by the city government of Krasnoyarsk (51%) and Air Bridge Management (49%) and has 4,314 employees (at
March 2007). It also owns a 71% stake in
Omskavia. before finally being sold in
February 2007.
KrasAir managers are part of a venture together with the
European Bank of Reconstruction and Development to create a new low-cost airline called
Sky Express. This airline will be based at
Vnukovo Airport and fly initially to domestic routes, using as many as 44
Boeing 737-300/500s. The airline's airfares are to be 30-40% cheaper than other carriers.
During
2006 1,118,543 passengers were transported by KrasAir and AiRUnion transported 3,342,815 passengers
