IrAero, the airline of Irkutsk established since 1999, launches weekly chartered flight to Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province in China, from Moscow Domodedovo International Airport on 19 June 2019 using one of its three Boeing B777-200ER aircraft, which has a configuration of 12 Business Class and 360 Economy Class seats.

On 19 June 2019, the outbound flight of IrAero leaves Moscow for Hefei at 11 pm, touches down in Hefei at 12.30 pm on 20 June 2019 before departing from Hefei for Moscow at 2.30 pm and arriving in Moscow at 5 pm.

The B777-200 chartered by major travel agencies of Anhui Province departs from Moscow for Hefei on Sundays and Wednesdays. It leaves Hefei for Moscow on Mondays and Thursdays. One way flight takes about 8 hours. With the launch of the new route, passengers from Anhui Province no longer need to transit in Nanjing or Pudong for onward flights to Moscow.

The number of weekly chartered flights to Hefei may increase, subject to market demand.

With the introduction of Hefei on its China route network, IrAero flies to a total of five Chinese cities including Sanya, Guangzhou, Manzhouli and Shenyang with the B777-200ER aircraft. 

Besides China, IrAero also operates flights to Tashkent, Fergana in Uzbekistan, Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia, Baku in Azerbaijan, Kokshetau, Karagandy, Petropavl in Kazakhstan and 58 cities in Russia with a fleet of 17 Antonov An-24/-26, 3 Bombardier CRJ200LR and 8 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft. It is the launch customer of the future aircraft, Irkut MC-21-300, to be delivered from 2019 onwards.
