Fleet

As Semeyavia is on the List of air carriers banned in the European Union due to safety concerns arising from its ageing fleet of Yakovlev Yak-40 aircraft, the company decided to renew its fleet with Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft,[5] the first of which (formerly having belonged to now-defunct Athens Airways) was delivered in December 2010.[6] Thus, the Semeyavia fleet currently consists of the following aircraft:

Incidents

On 19 February 1997, a Semeyavia Yakovlev Yak-40 (aircraft registration UN-87233) overshot the runway upon landing at Semey Airport following a scheduled domestic passenger flight. There were no fatalities amongst the 14 passengers and 4 crew members on board, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.[2]

gollark: It probably just exists to drive up ad revenue.
gollark: As a pretty active player with few valuable things I mostly can avoid it, but it's bad.
gollark: It's much easier to "attack" eggs than "defend" them, which is the problem.
gollark: I mean, you just put your eggs in *later*, and only worry about zyus/prizes or viewbombing.
gollark: Sciencing: so what?
