The company was founded in 1994 and started operations with four Ilyushin Il-62Ms and a single Ilyushin Il-86. A pair of Tupolev Tu-134B-3s were bought in 1996 to expand its route network. However, the company suffered from financial difficulties. After merger negotiations with cargo carrier East Line failed, Orient Avia filed for bankruptcy on July 10, 1997.[2]

gollark: I use Firefox, it even supports some addons.
gollark: It is better to make your actual site efficient and build in mobile support than redesign a new version with Google's proprietary technology. Except they boost AMP pages in search results on phones because why NOT be wildly anticompetitive?
gollark: What?
gollark: Trump will probably worsen it. I don't think he understands maths at all in any case.
gollark: My laptop mostly works with it, except the SD card reader doesn't work for some reason. Also the fingerprint sensor and smartcard reader but I have no idea what to do with them anyway.
